Augment your jailbroken iPhone’s Caller ID with PhoneCaller

Your iPhone displays the phone number of incoming and outgoing calls, apart from certain circumstances in which that number is privatized. But if you’re like me and wish you could see more about a caller than just the phone number at first glance, then you’ll probably come to appreciate a jailbreak tweak called PhoneCaller by iOS developer Osama.

As shown in the screenshot examples above, PhoneCaller works by integrating with the popular TrueCaller app to fetch more detailed caller ID information for both incoming and outgoing phone calls. As you’ll notice, it shows the caller’s first and last name in addition to any relevant photos of that person, where applicable.

The Electra Team released an updated version of the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool late last night, officially bringing it up to version 1.3.3 on the team’s website.

Citing a Tweet shared via the Electra Team’s official Twitter account at the time of release, this update implements support for the new Sock Puppet 3 exploit by @umanghere, which enables support for A7-A8(X) devices on iOS 12.1.3-12.4:

Unc0ver v3.5.3 released with ‘partial’ support for A12(X) devices running iOS 12.1.3-12.4 [u]

Pwn20wnd has been hard at work over the last several days adding support for iOS 12.4 to the unc0ver jailbreak, and several updates later, it’s now more reliable on iOS 12.4 than it was at the time of the initial release; but one thing was missing since the start: A12(X) support.

Pwn20wnd addressed this concern Monday afternoon by releasing unc0ver v3.5.3, which brings ‘partial’ support for A12(X) devices running iOS 12.1.3-12.4. This should sound familiar to most since unc0ver already ‘partially’ supported A12(X) devices on earlier firmware versions.
