Get a supercharged iPadOS-like Picture-in-Picture mode for iOS with Titan
The iPad's incredible Picture-in-Picture mode is one of the core features of iPadOS that lots of iPhone owners wish Apple would bring to the iOS ecosystem. In a classic Apple move, however, it seems like that request could go unanswered indefinitely. Fortunately for the jailbreak community, however, we have ways to circumvent these restrictions.
Titan is a newly released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer tcbrooks that brings true iPadOS-style Picture-in-Picture mode support to pwned iPhones and iPod touches, and in addition to that, it comes out of the box with support for a colorful variety of video-centric apps, including the following:

Apple pulls plug on iOS 13.5.5 beta 1 following release of unc0ver v5.2.0
Apple unsigned iOS & iPadOS 13.5 on Monday in a move intended to prevent downgrades to a publicly available jailbreakable firmware version. Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd quickly responded to the act this week by releasing unc0ver v5.2.0 with support for iOS & iPadOS 13.5.5 beta 1, providing jailbreak hopefuls with a second chance to upgrade to jailbreakable firmware.
But as it would seem, this was a short-lived hoorah. Apple appears to have stopped signing iOS & iPadOS 13.5.5 beta 1 as of last night, effectively and once again preventing iPhone and iPad users from installing a jailbreakable firmware for the second time in the same week.
Apple blocks downgrades to jailbreakable firmware by unsigning iOS & iPadOS 13.5
Apple this evening stopped signing iOS & iPadOS 13.5, a move on the Cupertino-based company’s behalf that essentially prevents iPhone and iPad users from installing this particular version of its firmware whether downgrading from a newer version of the mobile operating system or upgrading from an earlier version.
The move comes approximately one week after Apple released iOS & iPadOS 13.5.1 to the general public specifically with the intention of patching the 0-day kernel vulnerability that Pwn20wnd implemented into the unc0ver jailbreak to add support for iOS & iPadOS 13.5, the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system at the time.

iPadOS 13.5.5 hints at keyboard shortcuts for changing brightness when using iPads
iPadOS offers plenty of keyboard shortcuts to handle a variety of tasks, and all of them are helpful in one way or another. But the fact that there are still important shortcuts missing means there is still room to improve.

EmojiPicker brings a macOS-inspired Emoji interface to the iPad
It’s not very often that we see dedicated jailbreak tweaks for the iPad platform, and that’s one of the reasons why we’re particularly excited to show you a new and free release called EmojiPicker by iOS developer Gui Rambo.
As you might’ve ascertained already from the tweak’s rather telling name, EmojiPicker is intended to augment the Emoji-picking interface in iPadOS for whenever you need access to Emojis while typing in various apps.
Downgrades from iOS 13.5 halted as Apple stops signing iOS 13.4.1
Apple is no longer signing iOS or iPadOS 13.4.1 as of this evening, a move that prevents iPhone and iPad users from downgrading from the iOS and iPadOS 13.5 software updates that the Cupertino-based tech giant released to the general public just last week.
Downgrading iOS device firmware isn’t a common necessity, but it can be necessary if or when Apple releases a software update that introduces bugs or instability to its devices. This isn’t a particularly common thing to happen, but it did transpire last October when iOS 13.2 was found to be ‘too aggressive’ with backgrounding restrictions, compelling many users to downgrade until a software update could be released to fix the issue.
