Downgrades from iOS 14 no longer possible as Apple stops signing iOS 13.7
Apple officially released iOS and iPadOS 14 last Wednesday, bringing dozens of exciting new and notable features to iPhones and iPads alike. Now, one week after the aforementioned launch, Apple has stopped signing both iOS and iPadOS 13.7.
This is a particularly significant change because iOS and iPadOS 13.7 were the final versions of the 13-centric family to be released before last week’s public iOS and iPadOS 14 launch. That said, Apple has effectively broken the ability to downgrade iOS or iPadOS 14 back to iOS or iPadOS 13.

In this step-by-step tutorial, we show you how to use the built-in Apple Shortcuts app to personalize your iPhone or iPad Home Screen with custom app icons and add some pop to your digital space.
Iconify makes missed notifications more discernible from the Home Screen
If you somehow manage to overlook the plethora of notification banners that stack up on top of one another on the Lock Screen, then you’ll be met later on with a myriad of red notification badges from the moment you authenticate and arrive at the Home Screen. But whoever said iOS’ notification experience needed to be so bland? Ah yes… Apple did.
Spori makes it easier to use Siri to dictate music playback in Spotify
If you’re jailbroken on iOS 13 and use Spotify as your primary music streaming app, then chances are you might find yourself wishing that Siri worked as smoothly with Spotify as it did with Apple Music. Fortunately, a free jailbreak tweak called Spori by iOS developer udevs can make that happen.
Siri can already play tracks via the Spotify Music app if you specifically articulate that you’d like to play that song in Spotify, but who wants to waste their time adding those extra words to each and every Siri command? I, for one, certainly don't.
Checkra1n jailbreak picks up support for iOS 14 on A8-A9X devices
Not even one week after Apple officially released iOS and iPadOS 14 to the general public, the checkra1n team has released checkra1n version 0.11.0 with support for Apple’s latest and greatest mobile operating system (albeit with a catch).
The checkra1n Twitter page shared the announcement late Monday night, followed closely by commentary from Todesco himself:
Zefy makes Spotify behave more like a default media player on jailbroken iPhones
Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming services available for the iOS & iPadOS platforms apart from Apple's own Apple Music streaming service. But if anything’s painfully obvious, it’s the fact that Apple nerfs the functionality of third-party apps and services that compete with its own by limiting what they can do on their platform; this effectively makes Apple’s own services look better by comparison, and intentionally so.
If you’re an avid Spotify user and you also have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad at your disposal, then you could probably benefit from the likes of a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Zefy by iOS developer udevs. This tweak implements a few handy workarounds for iOS to make Spotify feel more like a native music player than just a third-party alternative to Apple’s.

How to use compact calls on iPhone and iPad
By default, incoming phone and FaceTime calls appear as a compact banner at the top of the screen of your unlocked iPhone. It doesn't take up the whole screen.
However, if you or someone with access to your iPhone switched it back to a full-screen interface, then you can easily revert to the default, compact style. In this tutorial, we'll show you how.
