Ken Kocienda, the former Apple engineer who wrote the original iPhone keyboard with the dictionary, auto-correct and other features, says blocking suggestions for any swear words that the user might type was a necessary tradeoff that the team simply had to make.
Macs come with a Guest Mode right from the factory, but the iPhone and iPad do not. This becomes an issue when you’re asked to share your device with friends and family, as it puts your own privacy at risk.
But all these concerns stop a new jailbreak tweak called LendMyPhone by iOS developer Luke Muris, which brings a well-planned Guest Mode to jailbroken handsets.
Dark Mode-based jailbreak tweaks have become severely cliché in the modern jailbreak community, but a pair of new tweaks dubbed Deluminator by iOS developer FoxfortMobile and Nebula by iOS developers Squ1dd13 and Muirey03 finally offer something unique in the Dark Mode space.
While the majority available Dark Mode-based jailbreak tweaks concentrate on transforming the aesthetic of app user interfaces, Deluminator and Nebula instead focus on the web pages you load in your iPhone or iPad’s mobile web browser.
Having the power to modify your iOS 11 device outside of Apple’s parameters is the primary reason to use the Electra jailbreak. For those that are already using it, finding exciting add-ons to install can be challenging.
In this roundup, we’ll help you discover new jailbreak tweaks and add-ons for your handset by consolidating all the previous week’s releases into one post. This roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks released in Cydia from September 10th to September 16th.
Upon refreshing your Cydia sources this week, you should take note of a new free jailbreak tweak called NavAway by iOS developer Wh0ba.
Just as the tweak’s name suggests, NavAway makes your iPhone’s navigation bar magically disappear as you scroll down in specific scrollable applications. When you begin scrolling back up in the app, NavAway intelligently reveals the navigation bar again for your convenience.
The new iPhone Xs and Xs Max, as well as a colorful family of the new iPhone Xr handsets, include advancements in near-field communication (NFC) technology that allow the handsets to automatically read nearby NDEF (NFC Data Exchange Format) tags and send any collected assets to appropriate apps without needing to open any specific app beforehand.
To increase support for the latest screen sizes and technologies, Apple will soon stop accepting iPhone apps that don't take full advantage the native display resolution of iPhone Xs Max. Likewise, Apple Watch apps must support the new Apple Watch Series 4 hardware.
If you’re rocking a semi-untethered jailbreak like Electra, then you’re likely familiar with the inconvenience of re-running the tool over a wired connection with your computer every time you reboot your device.
You can control the majority of your handset reboots by merely keeping it running at all times, but the one instance where you can’t is when your handset runs out of battery power. Fortunately, a new jailbreak tweak dubbed SafeShutdown by iOS developer Kurrt aims to make this a less painful experience.
Having a jailbroken iPhone or iPad means being able to customize it such that it delivers an experience unlike anyone else’s handset, and with a new free jailbreak tweak called Cabello by iOS developer daniel63194, you can do just that.
Cabello compliments your handset’s hardware buttons with customizable effects, such as custom sounds and haptic feedback. Right out of the box, the tweak lets you configure these parameters for the Home button, volume buttons, and the sleep/wake button.
If you’ve got a jailbroken iOS 11 device, then you’re probably wondering what kinds of jailbreak tweaks you should be installing on it. Fortunately, we’ve got you covered.
In this roundup, we’ll be talking about all the jailbreak tweaks released in Cydia from September 3rd to September 9th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites and then outline the rest afterward.
Folders are incredibly useful for managing cluttered Home screens, but their core design hasn’t changed much in some of the most recent iterations of iOS.
If you’re looking for a completely redesigned folder experience in iOS 11, then we encourage you to check out a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed CoolFolder by iOS developer 4nni3.
Depending on how often you take FaceTime or Phone calls on your iPhone, you might find it handy to have your handset automatically accept incoming calls from specific people under specific circumstances.
You can configure your iPhone to answer phone calls automatically if you have iOS 11, but a jailbreak tweak called AutoAnswer X (iOS 11) by iOS developer Elias Limneos provides a better long-term solution with more features and configuration than you could ever dream of receiving in an official iOS update from Apple.
