Jailbreak Tweaks to check out

There's been a bevy of iOS 11-centric jailbreak tweaks launching in Cydia lately, and many of them augment the experience in ways that we could only dream of on a stock device.

In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the jailbreak tweaks released throughout the past week. As always, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first, and then we’ll outline the rest afterward.

Apple stops signing iOS 11.3

Apple has stopped signing iOS 11.3 on Wednesday, a move that prevents iPhone and iPad users from downgrading or restoring to this particular version of iOS through iTunes.

The Cupertino-based company regularly stops signing older iOS versions just a couple of weeks after releasing a new software update. Given how Apple just released iOS 11.3.1 a little more than a week ago, this news shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

BottomControlX brings the classic Control Center gesture to the iPhone X

Much like other iOS handsets, the iPhone X comes equipped with Control Center for quick access to your favorite toggles, shortcuts, and features. But Apple made the gesture entirely different on its latest flagship by requiring you to pull down from the top right corner of the display.

If you don’t particularly enjoy this stock gesture on your iPhone X, then you may want to consider installing a new free jailbreak tweak called BottomControlX by iOS developer XCXiao.
