Make your Status Bar’s Breadcrumb links look better with Croutons

One of the more useful features Apple integrated into iOS is the Breadcrumb link function, which is accessible from the Status Bar. With it, you can go back to previously-used apps more quickly after you’re redirected to another on your device.

Despite how handy it is, people aren't so fond of their Status Bar getting cluttered up with extra text. Fortunately, iOS developer Sticktron found an aesthetically-pleasing way to improve your Breadcrumb link trail in his new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Croutons (iOS 9/10).

EmojiType inserts relevant Emoji in the place of plain text characters

As you type with your iPhone's keyboard, standard plain text characters appear on the screen, but that's not always enough if you're a heavy Emoji user. To insert Emojis, you need to visit the Emoji keyboard and tap on them manually, while the predictive keyboard suggests relevant Emoji from time to time. Nevertheless, it won’t automatically-insert them for you.

If you wish things worked a little differently, then a new free jailbreak tweak called EmojiType by iOS developer Adriano Junior is now available that automatically replaces certain text characters with relevant Emoji characters.

3Edgy5Me brings Galaxy S8-inspired notification animations to the iPhone

Out of all the smartphone choices out there, it’s probably not wrong to say that iOS has one of the most uninteresting notification systems of them all. Fortunately, those who sport jailbreaks can spice up the notification system up a bit with add-ons.

One of the latest jailbreak tweaks to do just that is a new release called 3Edgy5Me by iOS developer Will Smillie, which brings customizable Galaxy S8-style notifications to iPhone and iPad.
