This tweak gives iOS’ native Weather widget an animated background

Anthony Bouchard ∙ October 6, 2019

Among all the widgets that can be activated via your iPhone or iPad’s Today page, perhaps one of my favorites is Apple’s native Weather widget. On one hand, it’s particularly concise and can be expanded to show hourly forecast information; but at the same time, it’s particularly bland, especially when compared to decked out alternatives such as Yahoo! Weather.

Given the circumstances afoot, we’re particularly excited to show you a newly released jailbreak tweak called AnimatedWeatherWidget by iOS developer Cole Cabral. Just as the name implies, this tweak updates the background of your iOS device’s native Weather widget to display the same animated background that you’d typically observe in the Weather app itself.

iOS 13 introduces a plethora of aesthetic changes over iOS 12, but perhaps one of the greatest improvements comes by way of the updated volume and ringer HUD interfaces, which no longer photo-bomb the center of your display when invoked.

You can already port the iOS 13 volume HUD to a pwned device with a jailbreak tweak called 13HUD, but now, you can also port iOS 13’s ringer HUD to your jailbroken handset with a secondary add-on dubbed Ringer13 by iOS developer KingPuffDaddi.

Protect your identity on the internet like never before with Guardian Firewall

Anthony Bouchard ∙ September 30, 2019

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is often your best bet when you want to browse the internet privately. Not only do most VPNs offer end-to-end encryption for secure data transmission, but they will also cloak your true location from prying eyes.

Many VPN services work in the same way, but Guardian Firewall by Sudo Security Group is a completely different type of VPN that aims to clamp down on user privacy even further by filtering outgoing data transmissions that could potentially expose personal information about you.
