These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
One of the many reasons that users jailbreak their iOS device is to customize it. If you're looking for a tweak that allows you to customize the stock Messages app, you should definitely consider checking out Messages Customizer Pro.
The tweak has been produced by Charlie Hewitt, the same developer who created the Messages Customiser tweak earlier this year. The successor comes packed with additional new features and allows you to customize and theme the stock Messages app the way you want.
While Control Center is a convenient place to quickly control a playing song, it still lacks some music controls. CCShuffle is a new jailbreak tweak that brings the much anticipated shuffle and repeat buttons to Control Center.
Developed by Charlie Hewitt, CCShuffle adds a shuffle and repeat button to the right and left of the media controls in Control Center. Originally, the buttons are only available in the stock Music app, but with this tweak, you can also use them from Control Center. Not only this but CCShuffle also adds both the buttons to the Lock screen as well.
When your iPhone is locked and you receive a phone call, you'll see a slide to answer knob that allows you to respond to the call, and declining a phone call will require you to press the Sleep/Wake button twice. Cou is a new jailbreak tweak that allows you to customize this interface and replace the slider found on the Lock screen with buttons you normally see when you receive a call while the device is unlocked.
Developed by danteseig, Cou replaces the Slide to Answer slider with two buttons called 'Answer' and 'Decline'. This means that you can easily reject a phone call by pressing the Decline button rather than double pressing the Sleep button.
There are times when you accidentally send a message or like a photo on Instagram without intending to do so. BeSureBefore is a new jailbreak tweak that prevents you from performing such actions mistakenly.
The tweak displays a confirmation message before you send a message or an email, call a contact, like a photo on Instagram and much more. For instance, when you press the Send button in the Messages app, a confirmation message pops up ensuring that you don't send the message accidentally, as shown in the GIF above. Once you confirm to deliver the message, you'll have to press the Send button again to proceed.
If you ever wanted to find out the complete specifications of your iOS device, you should check out a new jailbreak tweak developed by iNasser called iDevice Wise. The tweak displays each and every detail that you need to know about your iOS device ranging from its IMEI, Serial Number and Model number to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Address and much more. It includes literally anything you want to find out about your device, even the detailed specs that a tech junkie will look after.
We've seen ActiveBoard, a tweak that allows you to add glowing effects to applications that are running in the background or have a pending notification. iMaker is a new jailbreak tweak with a similar goal, but packed with various different animations and options.
The tweak, which has been developed by Javier Brito, allows you to quickly identify the recently opened 5 apps that are still running in the background, applications that have a pending notification or which have been recently updated. This is done by applying various different animation styles to their icons.
Zephyr was one of the most popular multitasking tweak for iOS 6, however it hasn't been updated yet for iOS 7. If you miss the tweak, you should definitely check out an alternative to it known as Tage.
Developed by Ma Jun, Tage features functionality similar to Zephyr and changes the way you switch between opened apps. The tweak is made up of five major parts. You can swipe the left or right side of the screen to switch between active apps. Additionally, you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen to either close the app or launch the App Switcher. Finally, swiping left or right from the top edge of the screen allows you to lock your device.
Normally, when you connect your headphone to your iOS device, it will start to output the audio from the headphone rather than the speaker and there's no way you can switch to the latter. AudioOut is a brand new jailbreak tweak that aims to save your day by fixing this issue.
Developed by vibez, AudioOut allows you to listen to a song from the device's external speaker even when the headphone is plugged in. Not only this, but the tweak also lets you control the audio from the headphone's controls such as its volume. This means that you can listen to a song from the device's external speaker and at the same time control the sound with the headphone's remote control.
One of the features that iOS 7 lacks is the ability to control the amount of time your child spends using your device. Parental Controls for iOS is a new jailbreak tweak that aims to bring this highly anticipated feature to jailbroken iOS 7 devices.
Developed by Ge0rges, the tweak allows you to limit the amount of time a person can use your iOS device. Once the time has ended, the user will be automatically be locked out of your device and a pop-up will be displayed with three buttons: 'Emergency Call', 'Add One Hour' where a person will be allowed to use the device for an extra hour once the parental passcode has been entered and an 'Ok' button. The only way your child can gain access to your device once the time limit has been reached is when you choose to add an extra hour.
If you ever wanted to quickly find out additional information about an app such as its version or bundle ID, you should probably check out a brand new jailbreak tweak known as Flinfo.
The tweak allows you to find out an app's bundle ID, display name, executable name or even its current version by swiping up its app icon. After doing so, an action menu pops-up that allows you to select the information you want to view. Once you've chosen the information you want to display, it will be copied to your clipboard and you can view it by pasting it in the Notes app or anywhere else.
One of the ways of finding out the current volume level of your device is to press the volume buttons on the side of your device. VolumeStatus 2 is a brand new jailbreak tweak that allows you to quickly determine the current volume level of your device directly from the Status Bar.
The tweak adds a volume indicator to the Status Bar that allows you to take a quick peek at the volume level without pressing the volume buttons. The tweak doesn't display the exact volume level, but it gives you an idea of how much the volume is. The icon is followed by curved lines indicating the device's volume level.
