One of the biggest problems with the stock volume HUD in iOS is how it floats in the center of the display and gets in the way of everything you're doing. The problem is amplified when you're trying to watch a video and you can't see what's going on.
Amalthea is a new jailbreak tweak that relocates the volume indicator to the location of the Status Bar so that it's up and out of the way.
In one of its most recent updates, Twitter added a new night mode theme to its mobile app that makes the app easier on your eyes at night.
For jailbreakers who like the feature, but expected more than having to manually operate it all the time, a developer has figured out a way to make Twitter's night mode more automatic with a new jailbreak tweak called NightOwl.
Minimalists who don't like lines, separators, and other visually unappealing forms of UI elements appearing in Notification Center can use a new jailbreak tweak dubbed CustomNC to make it look just how they want it to.
Journalist Steven Levy's excellent in-depth look at Apple's machine learning and artificial intelligence systems used throughout iOS and its other products have left some people wondering about transferring the so-called iBrain database to a new device. Apple told Levy that iBrain is local to a device and doesn't get sent to the cloud.
The explanation promoted some people to wonder if that means that iBrain has to start all over again after getting a new phone, and lose all memory of what it learned in the process. As it turns out, some of the information in that “brain” can indeed be restored and moved to a new device in a safe manner.
If you've got a Mac, then you can easily send iMessages and SMS messages from the Messages app that's baked into your operating system.
Windows users don't have such a luxury. Remote Messages Client, a brand-new third-party desktop client, could change that.
Another week, another roundup. This week has seen another wave of jailbreak tweak releases that are helping to keep those who jailbroke with the Pangu iOS 9.3.3 tool satisfied with the ability to modify their devices.
In this roundup, we'll talk about what's new for this week, starting with our favorites, and then moving on to the rest afterwards.
Just last week, we showed you a jailbreak tweak called AnsweringMachine that took the jailbreak community by surprise and showed us that the iPhone's voicemail system has a lot to be desired. On the other hand, another new release called Super VoiceMail also looks very promising.
In this review, we'll show you what Super VoiceMail has to offer and help you decide which of the two jailbreak tweaks you should go with.
If you've got a jailbroken iPhone, then it's time to supercharge that stock calling app with a new jailbreak tweak called Phone++.
In this review, we'll show you how Phone++ can improve access to your contacts from your favorite social apps and make your life easier.
Apple today released an eighth beta of iOS 10 (build number “14A5346a”) to members of the Apple Developer Program and the seventh beta of iOS 10 to public beta testers who are signed on the Apple Beta Software Program. It's worth repeating that iOS 10 beta 8 for developers and iOS 10 beta 7 for public beta testers contain the same features.
The devices on a prior beta can be updated in Settings → General → Software Update, but some users are reporting issues trying to update to beta 8.
One of the fun aspects of jailbreaking your iOS device is the ability to modify the animations you normally see when you perform actions.
One of the latest to catch my eye is a freebie dubbed NCPop for changing the animation you see when launching Notification Center, which we'll be showing you in this review.

Bloomberg reported Thursday that Apple has been developing a brand new Snapchat-style video editing and sharing application that could launch in 2017 as a standalone download, as well as testing deeper social ties across iOS as part of a newly directed focus to integrate more social networking features within its mobile products. These moves are said to be a response to the success of social services like Facebook and Snapchat, according to people familiar with Apple’s strategy.
