Manage your recent Snaps more efficiently with SnapchatRecents

If you’ve got a lot of friends in Snapchat and you find it challenging to keep up with everyone’s snaps, then a new free jailbreak tweak called SnapchatRecents by iOS developer NeinZedd9 could help.

This tweak helps prevent you from forgetting to respond to your friends in Snapchat by using a couple of pressuring tactics to get you to answer them more quickly.

RedFailedMessages makes it easier to discern when a message fails to send

It’s never a good sight when a text fails to send in the Messages app, but sometimes the “failed message” alert isn’t as eye-catching as we want it to be, at times resulting in forgotten failed messages that leave the recipient hanging for hours.

A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed RedFailedMessages by iOS developer NeinZedd9 has the goal of making it easier to discern between successful and failed messages by turning the entire chat bubble of a failed message red.

Change the color of your Status Bar with this tweak

It was just over a week ago that we showed you a free jailbreak tweak called Black Status Bar (System Wide) by iOS developer Justin Petkovic. As the name implies, the tweak blackened your Status Bar, an aesthetic that some may prefer over the stock coloring method.

But for anyone who didn’t like having a black Status Bar all the time, the same developer just launched a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Color Status Bar (System Wide), which lets you choose what color your Status Bar will be.

Everything you need to know about tihmstar’s iOS 9.1-9.3.4 jailbreak untether

First things first: do not rush off and install this untether on your devices. It could easily boot loop them. This isn't a general warning to be ignored; the tool does not support most devices yet, and I will not be held responsible for any damage done by it.

Having said that, let's have a gander at this new release, the first jailbreak untether that we've seen in quite some time.

This tweak lets you customize your iPhone’s locking animation

One of the things that always keeps jailbreaking interesting, at least for me, is being able to modify the stock system animations with something more exciting. Tweaks of this nature have been harder to come by as of late, but that doesn't mean development has ceased entirely.

A new jailbreak tweak dubbed Vespera (iOS 10) by iOS developer muris keeps this part of the jailbreak experience alive by letting you customize your iPhone or iPad's locking animation.

ScreenshotXI brings iOS 11-like screenshot functions to jailbroken devices

If you've forgotten about all the new features that come bundled with the iOS 11 update launching this Fall, then let this serve as a small reminder that it includes significant upgrades to screenshot handling on your iPhone or iPad. Waiting another month isn’t a big deal for stock device users, but upgrading isn't an accessible option for jailbreakers.

If you’re jailbroken and want the same supercharged screenshot features that come with iOS 11 without upgrading this Fall, you can use a new jailbreak tweak dubbed ScreenshotXI by iOS developer DGh0st to get them right away.

Edgify: another tweak that brings Galaxy S8-inspired notification animations to iOS

If you’re a fan of the way the notification system looks on Galaxy S8 devices, then you might want to pay attention to a new jailbreak tweak called Edgify by iOS developer NOPTeam.

If the concept sounds familiar, that’s because a free tweak called 3Edgy5Me was just released last week that did the same thing. On the other hand, we'll show you what sets them apart in this piece.

NoLSPowerDown keeps the power down slider from appearing on the Lock screen

You can invoke the power down menu from anywhere in iOS, whether you’re on the Lock screen or actively using your device. If for any reason you ever wanted to limit this function so you couldn’t access it from the Lock screen, then today is your lucky day.

A new free jailbreak tweak called NoLSPowerDown by iOS developer NoisyFlake prevents your power down slider from being accessed unless your device is unlocked.
