iOS 14.3, which arrived yesterday, includes a new Siri feature that allows the digital assistant to play various sounds on demand, including sounds of animals, vehicles, instruments and more.
It has been in the works for awhile now, but Apple has finally launched the App Store privacy labels for apps available in the digital storefront.
Things have felt slower than usual with regard to jailbreak tweak releases recently, but that’s to be expected when iOS & iPadOS 14 aren’t ideally jailbreakable on every available device as of yet.
Regardless, we’re back with yet another roundup encompassing all the jailbreak tweak releases and the best jailbreak news to keep you apprised as it happens. This roundup will go over everything from Monday, December 7th to Sunday, December 13th.
While most serious gamers out there are using either a console or a powerful home-built gaming PC, the fact remains that some gamers like to take their games with them on their travels with the help of their smartphones and tablets.
While the mobile gaming experience isn’t nearly the same as it would be on a stationary system, elite gamers may still take their mobile system performance seriously. This may explain why a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called FPSIndicator by iOS developer Brend0n is now available.
Earlier this year, iOS developer XsF1re garnered a substantial amount of attention from the jailbreak community after releasing the FlyJB kernel-level jailbreak detection bypassafter releasing the FlyJB kernel-level jailbreak detection bypass — a tool that was basically meant to amount to a way for jailbreakers to go undetected by App Store apps that would traditionally bar access to those with pwned handsets.
Soon after, XsF1re pulled the project, citing a loss of confidence, but later reinstated it as FlyJB X upon developing improvements to make the bypass more reliable. Still, it wasn’t without its shortcomings. Over the weekend, however, iOS developer Ichitaso updated his own kernel-level jailbreak detection bypass dubbed KernBypass (unofficial) to version 0.0.5, and from what we can gather, it just might be slightly superior.
Now that the Odyssey jailbreak tool supports up to iOS & iPadOS 13.7 on all compatible devices, more avid jailbreakers have access to the perks of a seemingly endless cache of jailbreak tweaks and extensions that can be used to make their handset more unique.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss the latest jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, November 30th to Sunday, December 6th. As always, we’ll start things off with a brief overview of our favorite releases and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest and other important jailbreak news tidbits afterward.
The most wonderful time of the year is rapidly approaching once more, and lots of families will be turning to festivities as a means of drowning out the absolute horrors that 2020 brought to families all over the globe.
If you’re one of the millions who will be celebrating the holidays this year, then why stop at household decorations and holiday baking when you can trick out your iPhone or iPad too? Apart from setting a festive wallpaper, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Snoverlay 2 by iOS developer Ryan Nair can make animated snowflakes rain over the top of every interface you view on your handset.
After receiving a notification from one of your apps, iOS and iPadOS put a badge on the Home Screen’s app icon to alert you to missed and/or pending notifications. The badge appears as a static red dot at the top-right of the icon, and while we’ve seen jailbreak tweaks-a-plenty that permit color customization of these badges, tweaks for animating said badges seem to be far less common.
Enter AnimeMyBadges, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Antony M that gives Your handset’s notification badges a unique breathing animation that causes them to wax and wane with what can only be described as the in-and-out rhythm of a breath.
Duolingo is perhaps one of the most popular apps for learning a new language available on the iOS and iPadOS Â platforms, and despite this fact, the app appears to lack the types of fun and quirky Easter eggs that you might come to expect from an app of this caliber.
That’s where a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called AngryDuolingo by iOS developer Idefix2020 comes into play. It makes using the Duolingo app more fun by giving the Home Screen icon some added character as the app accumulates more and more missed notifications.
Emojis have quickly transformed into one of the most popular ways to share expressions and reactions via messaging and social media platforms. If you’ve ever wanted to enter several of the same Emoji into a text field, however, then you’d find yourself tapping the Emoji key of your choosing repeatedly until satisfied.
LongKeys is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer maximehip that tries to take the edge off of this user experience by allowing typists to simply tap and hold on an Emoji key of their choosing to input several instances of that particular Emoji into the text field all at once.
Apple welcomed the first beta of iOS 14.3 in November. Now, the company continues to move forward towards the public update with yet another beta.
Accomplished security researcher Ian Beer, known for releasing a host of iOS exploits used by modern jailbreak tools, dropped a bombshell on Twitter late Wednesday evening after sharing a detailed blog post about a jaw-dropping radio proximity exploit affecting up to and including iOS and iPadOS 13.5.
The blog post summary goes on to explain that the hacker can remotely trigger kernel memory corruption through the execution of arbitrary code. Furthermore, it can force affected iOS and iPadOS devices in radio proximity to reboot with no user interaction needed or put privacy at risk by breaching user data or utilizing cameras and microphones without the user’s knowledge.  Scary indeed…
