These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
If you’re interested in giving your jailbroken handset a refreshingly-pleasant aesthetic makeover, then you just might want to turn your attention to a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Vibrancy by iOS developer Dylan Duff.
Vibrancy transforms the look and feel of your iOS device by adding bright and vibrant blurs to many of your handset’s user interface. Out of the box, Vibrancy supports each of the following components of iOS:
Siri can make interacting with your iOS handset easier, and more specifically, the ‘Hey Siri’ feature comes in handy when you have dirty hands and you don’t want to touch your device. But when your handset is locked, Apple prevents Siri from accessing certain things to protect your privacy from those who may try to exploit her handiness to reveal personal information about you.
While we can understand Apple’s reasoning for doing this, we also understand that some iOS device power users care more about functionality than privacy, and so it would’ve been nice if Apple offered more flexibility in this department. Fortunately, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called SiriUnlock by iOS developer CokePokes makes this happen.
Apple’s Maps app comes in handy for me more times than I can count when I need help getting to my destination, but for what it’s worth, the app’s voice navigation tends to become a nuisance when I’m trying to listen to music at the same time.
SilentMaps is a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer LonestarX that aims to resolve this problem by replacing the native Maps app’s voice-centric navigation with subtle sound effects that let you know when a critical turn on your route is near.
Apple seems to be making the shift to larger iPhone displays, and while this is great for media consumption, it also tends to make one-handed usage a bit more challenging in most scenarios. This is precisely why iOS comes with an accessibility feature dubbed Reachability.
Despite how useful Reachability can be at times, its aesthetics sometimes leave a lot to be desired. With that in mind, iOS developer CydiaGeek created a new free jailbreak tweak called ReachabilitySheer to make the Reachability interface look both cleaner and nicer.
First released back in 2014, Priority Hub was perhaps one of the most popular notification-centric jailbreak tweaks of all time. It ported BlackBerry 10’s grouped notifications feature to the iOS Lock screen, allowing users to filter missed notifications on a per-app basis.
As time went on, developers have re-made Priority Hub for newer iterations of iOS, and now that both iOS 11 and 12 are jailbreakable, it only seems just that a proper remake should be released for those firmware versions. With that in mind, we’re excited to show you a new free jailbreak tweak release called Axon by iOS developer Nepeta.
At the bottom of your iOS device’s Lock screen is a subtle blurb of text that tells you what you should do to unlock your device. On a Face ID-equipped handset, it might say “Swipe up to unlock,” while Home Button-equipped handsets might show “Press home to unlock” instead.
If you’re jailbroken and you’re interested in customizing this text, then you’re in luck because iOS developer Dave van Wijk has just released a new free jailbreak tweak called LSTextChanger that lets you do just that.
Whether you're taking advantage of the A12(X)-supported Chimera jailbreak by the Electra Team, or the newly-redesigned unc0ver jailbreak by Pwn20wnd, chances are you're itching for something new that'll make your jailbroken handset look better than all the rest out there. Fortunately, we're here to help with that.
This roundup will encompass all the latest jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, June 3rd to Sunday, June 9th. As usual, we'll kick things off by discussing our favorite from the bunch first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
You can hide sensitive images from your Photos app’s Camera Roll by moving them to the app’s Hidden album, but it doesn’t take much for someone with access to your handset to find the Hidden album and start perusing through the images it contains.
With this caveat in mind, iOS developer Menuska has released a new free jailbreak tweak called FaceID for Hidden Photos that adds a biometric authentication requirement to the Photos app’s Hidden album. With it, you’ll need to pass a Face ID authentication test to access the Hidden album’s contents, as shown in the screenshot example below:
Handsets jailbroken with Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver tool will have Cydia installed as the default package manager, and with a newly-released free jailbreak tweak dubbed addsource by iOS developers yuosaf01 and 3bod_syr, you can augment the app’s native repository-adding functionality.
With any typical Cydia installation, users will need to enter a repository’s URL manually by tapping on the ‘Add’ button in the app’s Sources tab. This method works, but it tends to be cumbersome and exposes users to an increased likelihood of human error while typing the designated repository URL.
At WWDC 2019, Apple introduced both iOS 13 and iPadOS, each of which sim to significantly augment the features available on Apple’s mobile device lineup. But like most annual upgrades to iOS, it’s clear that Apple received inspiration for new features from the jailbreak community, which continues to tweak Apple’s mobile operating system to this very day.
In this piece, we’ll discuss thirteen new features from Apple’s upcoming iOS 13 and iPadOS mobile operating systems that the jailbreak community had first.
If you have a lot of tweaks installed on your jailbroken iOS handset, then you probably have a plethora of dedicated preference panes lurking in your Settings app. With that in mind, it can be useful in a pinch to have shortcuts to the preference panes you use the most.
With the aforementioned concept in mind, we’re excited to show you a newly-released free jailbreak tweak called QuickPrefs by iOS developer AnthoPak, which makes some of your most-used jailbreak tweak-centric preference panes in the Settings app easier to access.
It wasn’t too long ago that we showed you a fun and quirky jailbreak tweak release called Magma by iOS developer NoisyFlake, which allowed users to customize the color-centric appearance of iOS’ Control Center interface.
Magma was an instant hit among jailbreakers, and this might explain why NoisyFlake has just released a more feature-packed version of Magma called Magma Pro.
