Keep prying eyes away from your missed notifications with LeaveMeOff Pro
It’s not uncommon for nosy onlookers to peer at your phone screen from over your shoulder as you enjoy a text message-based conversation with one of your friends or loved ones. Albeit creepy, such is life.
Apple’s iOS mobile operating system takes this fact into account, offering a handy feature in the Messages app’s notification settings that can hide message contents from your Lock Screen’s notification banners under various circumstances. But if that’s still not enough privacy for you, then a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed LeaveMeOff Pro by iOS developer Plat-Ykor could be worth checking out.

Most iPhone users are familiar with the Now Playing widget. It’s the thing that pops on your Lock Screen whenever you have any type of media playing in the background.
While it’s useful for granular playback controls, the Now Playing widget certainly takes up a lot of vertical screen real estate on the Lock Screen, which severely limits available space for missed notification banners. Fortunately, a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed TinyWidget14 by iOS developer P2KDev puts the Now Playing widget on a diet.

Project Manticore: Another iOS 14.0-14.3-based jailbreak in the works?
A lot has been happening in the jailbreak community with regard to iOS & iPadOS 14 in just the past couple of weeks. Not only have we witnessed jailbreak teasers on iOS 14.0 and 14.3 devices, but a new kernel exploit for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3 called cicuta_virosa recently dropped. This means that a public jailbreak release supporting all devices on the aforementioned firmware versions could be just around the corner.
Given everything that appears to be going on, it seemed like a good time to turn the spotlight toward a rather interesting development known as project Manticore. At face value, it appears to be an upcoming jailbreak tool based on the new cicuta_virosa kernel exploit for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3.

iOS is a far cry from being an ugly mobile operating system, but there’s certainly a bit of wiggle room for Apple to improve on it. Unfortunately, first party redesigns from Apple can be few and far in between.
