This tweak automatically deletes 2FA and Short Code messages after a user-set amount of time

More and more frequently, iPhone and iPad users are being pushed by Apple or third parties to take advantage of two-factor authentication or text-messaged short codes to confirm their identity when logging in to apps and services.

These messages can add up over time, especially if you use many apps and services that you log in or out of frequently, resulting in excessive conversation buildup in the Messages app.

Speed up or slow down your jailbroken iPhone’s animations with FastUp

Apple’s carefully calibrated operating system animations are among the bevy of things that I think complement the iPhone and iPad user experience. They’re silky smooth enough not to jitter, yet springy enough to provide the user with an ounce of satisfaction each time they witness them.

But I noticed something was missing from the app’s Now Playing interface – namely, a volume slider.

Low Power Mode.

Battery consumption is a very real concern among jailbreakers, especially given the fact that certain jailbreak tweak configurations can add to the burden of keeping your phone alive throughout the day.

While most people simply glance at the Status Bar or visit the Battery preference pane in the Settings app to learn more about their battery usage, those who want a brief battery usage report every morning when they wake up might take an interest in a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed DrainCheck by iOS developer Ginsu.
