Social Composer lets jailbreakers update social media and share messages from anywhere in iOS

Social media has become such an integral part of peoples’ day to day lives that you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone without an app from this category on their smartphone or tablet.

The Photos app is the best way to peruse the library of photographs you’ve taken, images you’ve saved, and videos you’ve captured via your iPhone or iPad, but that doesn’t mean the app isn’t without its flaws. In fact, there are many ways Apple could make the app better.

iOS developer ahmedmakls realizes the aforementioned fact, and that’s one reason why he just released a new and free jailbreak tweak called PhotosPro. In a nutshell, the tweak offers an allotment of useful features for the native Photos app, allowing you to enjoy more of the app than Apple would typically allow you to.

Colouration lets jailbreakers add a custom splash of color to their device

If you’re fortunate enough to have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad at your disposal, then that means you have the ability to make your device look completely different from anyone else’s by way of jailbreak tweaks. Whether you prefer subtle aesthetic changes or substantial aesthetic changes, there’s a little bit of something for everyone.

Today we’ll be giving you first-hand look at the newly released Colouration jailbreak tweak by iOS developer kanns. The name practically gives the tweak away, as it’s quite literally a system-wide colorization tweak that allows you to tint user interfaces and change system colors to be whatever you might prefer over Apple’s native selections.

Get a floating music player on your pwned iPhone with MusicBox

Apple’s market-leading music player and streaming service bundled into a nice little package is one of the key reasons why someone might pick an iPhone over a competing smartphone, and while Apple has made accessing music controls much easier over the years with the introduction of Control Center, some find that the music player may still be more than a comfortable number of taps away.

That’s where a newly released jailbreak tweak called MusicBox by iOS developer Greg0109 comes into play. This tweak brings a floating music player to the iOS platform, allowing the user to interact with and control their Now Playing track from anywhere in the operating system without so much as needing to open a single interface to do so.
