Some of the best jailbreak tweaks for Dark Mode on iOS 14
One of the features I use non-stop on both my iPhone and iPad is Dark Mode. It’s something I wanted Apple to incorporate into its platform for eons after enjoying a multitude of jailbreak tweaks that unofficially provided the capability for so many years. That wish was granted in iOS & iPadOS 13, and it continues to be a popular feature even in iOS & iPadOS 14.
Now that we’ve enjoyed Dark Mode out of the box on the iOS and iPadOS platforms for a couple of years, it’s only natural that the jailbreak community has developed different ways of augmenting how we use and interact with it. Whether or not you’ve been following along for all that time, this piece will briefly summarize what we think are some of the best jailbreak tweaks for upgrading the Dark Mode user experience on iOS 14.

What’s new in iOS 15 beta 5
Earlier today, Apple seeded the fifth beta of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 (and tvOS 15) to developers. Even though we're nearing the public launch of the software, it looks like Apple's not quite finished adding and tweaking a few things with the software.

Apple’s head of privacy addresses concerns regarding the new Expanded Protections for Children
It should come as no surprise that Apple has had to go out of its way a bit to offer more context related to some of the newest features coming soon to its major platforms. With it being centered around child protections, but using some invasive efforts to get there, people are concerned the company might be overstepping. In an effort to assuage fears and concerns, Apple's tried to shine as much light on the new features as possible.

NotLiveText brings iOS 15’s Live Text feature to the Photos app on jailbroken iOS 14 handsets
Note-taking is a useful skill, but let’s admit it, we’ve all been in some type of time-related pinch in which it was more convenient to simply launch the Camera app and take a picture of something with text on it than it would have been to launch the Notes app and try to type out all the text verbatim.
