Now that a 32-bit jailbreak for iOS 9.3.5 is finally available a lot of legacy device owners will be looking to try it out on their devices, whether as an end of life plan, or to downgrade them to an unsigned firmware which runs more smoothly. In this guide, we'll show you how to use the Phœnix jailbreak, as well as how to move correctly from the first version to any later ones.
Your Status Bar displays relevant information about your device in every interface, including its battery level, signal strength, and the system time. On the other hand, it has so much untapped potential in its stock form.
With a new jailbreak tweak called Hera by iOS developer Maximehip, you can supercharge your Status Bar with new shortcuts and customization features.
One of my long-time favorite jailbreak tweaks for organizing my incoming notifications is Priority Hub, but the tweak was never updated to support iOS 10. If you’re in the same boat and miss this classic tweak, then you might want to try a new release called Atmos by iOS developer Antique.
After you install Atmos, your notifications are grouped by app both on the Lock screen and in Notification Center. With this sort of organization, you can focus on what’s important rather than looking at a chaotic menagerie of mixed notifications.
If you've got nostalgia for the good old days when you would use 'slide to unlock' to access your iPhone, then you should check out a throwback jailbreak tweak dubbed SlideToUnlockX by iOS developer XCXiao.
Once you install SlideToUnlockX, you can bring this classic unlock style to your jailbroken iOS 10 iPhone or iPad and cure your nostalgia.
Apple systematically stops signing older firmware for its mobile devices a couple of weeks after a new firmware release to prevent downgrades. Although they’re slightly late this time around, they’ve closed the signing window for iOS 10.3.2 three weeks following the release of iOS 10.3.3.
It’s not too significant for most iPhone and iPad users considering there isn’t a public jailbreak for any iOS firmware newer than Yalu for iOS 10.0-10.2, but it illustrates how Apple isn’t letting up on their efforts to put everyone on the latest firmware possible and to keep them there.
You can turn off Background App Refresh on your iPhone or iPad to save cellular data and extend the battery life.
In this tutorial, we'll tell you what Background App Refresh is and how to disable it for all apps or only selected apps. Plus, we'll show you how to turn it off only for cellular data or for both cellular data and Wi-Fi.
Perhaps one of the most important ways people use their iPhones is to listen to music, but sometimes you will use a bevy of different apps rather than just Apple Music.
With a new jailbreak tweak called Musessions by iOS developer creativeBeing, you can track your music history more efficiently and import songs from other apps directly into your stock Music app.
Apple on Tuesday released a fourth public beta of iOS 11 to members of its Beta Software Program. Available over the air via the Software Update mechanism, the new public beta has the same features like a fifth beta for developers which dropped yesterday.
Instagram announced today it's testing a new feature that will permit users of its mobile app for iPhone and iPad to go live with a friend.
Apple yesterday released a fifth beta of iOS 11 for developer testing, and we're expecting its matching public beta to drop later today.
I can’t even begin to tell you about the countless times I’ve accidentally backspaced an entire body of text when I only wanted to remove a few words from a sentence. It seems like iOS’ automatic backspace acceleration that kicks in when you tap and hold on the backspace key can get a little too excited at times.
Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called Backspace+ by iOS developer Justin Petkovic provides some relief from this issue and makes text-editing more feasible on iOS devices.
First world problems differ from one person to the next, but having been in a situation before where someone pranked me by grabbing my iPhone and taking several screenshots of the Lock screen to fill up my storage space, I can’t recommend a new free jailbreak tweak called LSScreenshotLimit by iOS developer DGh0st enough.
This tweak helps you avoid issues like the one I described by limiting the number of screenshots that can be taken from the Lock screen at one time. In doing so, you'll also dodge unnecessary frustration and urges to strangle whoever filled your Camera Roll with repetitive screenshots.
