There are so many jailbreak tweaks out there in addition to all the new releases we cover every day that it can be challenging for new jailbreakers to know exactly where they should start.

One of the features I use non-stop on both my iPhone and iPad is Dark Mode.

Whether or not you’ve been following along for all that time, this piece will briefly summarize what we think are some of the best jailbreak tweaks for upgrading the Dark Mode user experience on iOS 14.
