These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
Despite the lull that the jailbreak community is experiencing amid anticipation for iOS & iPadOS 15 this Fall, we continue to see interesting new jailbreak tweak developments and jailbreak-centric news.
Many of those releases and news breaks happen when we’re distracted by our lives, and important tidbits can be easy to miss as a result. That’s the primary reason why iDownloadBlog curates these weekly recaps — it’s an effort to keep everyone on the same page despite all the chaos life brings.
Proponents of the Sileo package manager for jailbroken iPhones and iPads will be in for quite the surprise this Saturday morning, as the Sileo Team appears to be pushing a notably significant new public beta update for the app in the form of version 2.2.
In 2016, we showed our readers an innovative mini player widget for jailbroken iPhones dubbed Playtopia that could shrink to a compact size while floating over the top of any interface for convenient music playback control from anywhere.
Today, we’re excited to share that a jailbreak tweak called Playtopia 2 is now available for modern jailbroken handsets running iOS 14 — a project made possible by iOS developers Ginsu and Aviorrok.
The introduction of the App Library in iOS 14 made Home Screen folders a moot point for many iPhone users. Still, some continue to use folders to organize app icons on the Home Screen, even in a post-App Library world.
As a YouTube Premium user, I’m glad that I no longer need to cope with the barrage of endless pop-ups that would attempt to upsell me on an upgraded YouTube experience comprised of support for background playback, offline video downloads, and ad-free viewing.
Having said that, I sympathize for the free YouTube users out there who are nagged time and time again to upgrade to YouTube Premium. While it’s annoying enough to try and watch videos with ad inserts every few seconds, the user experience is even more heavily degraded by those persistent money-grabbing pop-ups being added to the mix.
If your jailbreak depends on libhooker for its primary method of tweak injection (I’m looking at you Odyssey and Taurine users), then you should find a new update is available upon launching Sileo and refreshing your sources.
One of the features I use non-stop on both my iPhone and iPad is Dark Mode. It’s something I wanted Apple to incorporate into its platform for eons after enjoying a multitude of jailbreak tweaks that unofficially provided the capability for so many years. That wish was granted in iOS & iPadOS 13, and it continues to be a popular feature even in iOS & iPadOS 14.
Now that we’ve enjoyed Dark Mode out of the box on the iOS and iPadOS platforms for a couple of years, it’s only natural that the jailbreak community has developed different ways of augmenting how we use and interact with it. Whether or not you’ve been following along for all that time, this piece will briefly summarize what we think are some of the best jailbreak tweaks for upgrading the Dark Mode user experience on iOS 14.
If you’re jailbroken and in the market for an exciting new way to customize your handset’s notification banner experience, then we have just the right jailbreak tweak for you!
Cucu is a new and free release by iOS developer Xyaman that offers a handful of intriguing new features for incoming notification banners, and like most high-quality jailbreak tweaks, it’s fully configurable by the end user.
Many jailbreakers are perfectly fine with the way their iPhone functions, but they simply want to make it look different than it does out of the box. If that sounds like you, then you might enjoy using a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Vide by iOS developer Xyaman.
Things have been a little slower than usual in the jailbreak community for the past two weeks, but that’s par for the course when we’re just around the corner from a major iOS software update — namely iOS & iPadOS 15 this Fall.
Despite that, this past week surprised us with some exciting jailbreak tweak releases and jailbreak-based news. We intend to share everything new with you in this convenient all-in-one roundup to help ensure you don’t miss any of it.
Note-taking is a useful skill, but let’s admit it, we’ve all been in some type of time-related pinch in which it was more convenient to simply launch the Camera app and take a picture of something with text on it than it would have been to launch the Notes app and try to type out all the text verbatim. Business cards and street-side advertisements are both great examples.
If there’s one thing that almost every jailbreaker likes to do after they learn that they’re free from Apple’s restrictive clutch, it’s giving the iOS user interface a fresh coat of paint.
In many cases, this means tinting the operating system with your favorite color scheme, or changing the color of smaller components of the user interface that you don’t like as they come out of the box. This includes the iPhone’s keyboard, and if you’re interested in giving the keyboard a new splash of color, then a jailbreak tweak called KBColor by iOS developer Mostafa can provide enough customization to help you get the job done.
