These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
It’s no secret that the Apple Watch is a convenient accessory for the iPhone, but even so, it tends to use the Bluetooth radio for most file transfers. This can sometimes be unbearably slow, especially when the transfer involves large or several files at one time.
As an iPhone’s battery level approaches the dangerous sub-20% territory, the handset will automatically alert the user. One thing that has always peeved me about this, however, is that the alert isn’t as aesthetically pleasing as I’d come to expect from a company with a reputation for good looks such as Apple.
For those who agree, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Electrode by iOS developer biD3V offers refuge, as it replaces the iPhone’s traditional low power alerts with something called a Toast, which looks like the pop-up you get when toggling the ringer/silent switch on an iPhone or attaching an Apple Pencil to an iPad to charge.
When you tap on the Calculator shortcut in Control Center, it insta-jolts you from Control Center to the Calculator app. Wouldn’t it be so much sleeker if Control Center had a dedicated Calculator module just like the many other modules it offers?
As a chronic Dark Mode user on my iPhones and iPads, I’ve grown accustomed to displays that don’t sear my eyes out of their sockets when I operate my mobile device. In essence, I like the interface to be as dark as it possibly can be, even if Apple doesn’t want it to be.
If you own an iPhone, then a substantial part of the user experience would be tinkering with the powerful camera systems that Apple invests millions of dollars into improving year after year. This holds true even for jailbreakers since they can enjoy even more convenience and performance out of their iPhone’s camera than basic iPhone users thanks to being free of Apple’s software limitations.
It was just over a year ago that we showed our readers a free jailbreak tweak called Peep that allowed jailbroken iPhone users to hide their Status Bar with a single tap, and it was an instant hit.
It goes without saying that the vast majority of iPhone users resort to using the stock Contacts app that Apple pre-installs from the factory for managing their contact list. Not only is it easy to use, but it integrates more deeply with the rest of iOS than most third-party alternatives from the App Store.
If you ever need to hide your identify from someone that you’re attempting to call from your iPhone, then you can utilize the “Show My Caller ID” option in the Settings app to toggle displaying your caller ID on or off when making outgoing phone calls. On the other hand, finding this option in the Settings app can feel a little like navigating a complex labyrinth.
Privacy is a valuable thing, and while iPhones can be secured with a passcode or biometric authentication such as Face ID or Touch ID, many still feel like Apple could do more to improve user privacy — especially for when someone manages to get ahold of your passcode or you hand your unlocked device to another person for one reason or another.
While some jailbreakers-to-be continue to wait for a jailbreak solution that works on newer firmware, those lucky enough to already have a pwned handset are wondering what they can do to modify their device outside of Apple’s stock parameters.
At iDownloadBlog, we come at you every weekend with a roundup just like this one, which summarizes everything that you may have missed throughout the busy work week.
Upon tapping the play button for a video in Safari or the Photos app, iOS automatically loads the video in its native media player interface. This media player doesn’t apply to all apps, such as those with proprietary alternatives like the official YouTube app, but it applies almost everywhere else.
Jailbreakers who have an interest in customizing iOS’ default media player are likely to show an interest in a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed CustoMedia by iOS developer gamehacker080, as it permits the end user to not only colorize the native media player, but also to adjust its behavior in several different ways.
I’m a chronic YouTube user, and those in the same boat could probably find a use for one of the boat load of features offered by a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Enhancer for YouTube Premium by iOS developer LillieWeeb.
The previous name (YouTube Premium Plus) was a bit of a misnomer because it didn’t provide YouTube Premium features for free, nor did it only apply to YouTube Premium users. Rather, it offered a wide variety of options for augmenting YouTube for both YouTube basic and YouTube Premium users alike. The new name, we feel, is much more fitting.
