Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
The latest jailbreakable version of iOS at the time of this writing is iOS 12.1.2, but that could change in the very future.
iOS hobbyist @NedWilliamson Tweeted a teaser Friday afternoon of what appears to be a successful tfp0 exploit for iOS 12.2 on an iPhone 6s Plus, a feat that was purportedly made possible after working closely with long-respected security researcher Brandon Azad:
Some folks have been jailbreaking their iPhones and iPads for many years, but not so much their Apple Watches; however, that could all change in the not-so-distant future.
In April, we shared with you the news of what appeared to be preliminary progress on an Apple Watch-centric jailbreak, namely one that would support watchOS versions 4.0-5.1.2 on all current iterations of the Apple Watch including Series 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Sadly, progress updates on this particular project have been somewhat sparse since its announcement.
There’s no doubt that the iPhone’s native power down screen leaves a lot to be desired, but with the help of a new jailbreak tweak called RePower XII by iOS developer Haifisch, you can change that.
RePower XII supercharges the native power down interface, providing users with several other switches besides powering off. Those include:
The jailbreak community is no stranger to dark mode-centric jailbreak tweaks, but the bulk of them cost money to be downloaded. Given the circumstances, dark mode lovers might be particularly excited to learn about a free release called Dune by iOS developer Skitty.
As you’ll see in the screenshot examples above, Dune can be used to give your mobile operating system a darker aesthetic overall. The tweak is designed to darken various UI elements found throughout the operating system, such as:
iOS 11 introduced a new Control Center toggle that could be used to video record your iPhone or iPad’s display on demand. The feature is incredibly useful, but it suffers from one substantial flaw: it doesn’t work when your handset is locked.
Enter RecordAnywhere, a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Muirey03 that solves this problem at the source.
iOS underwent a seriously polarizing redesign as it transitioned from iOS 6 to iOS 7, and for the most part, Apple still maintains the flat UI aesthetic over the older skeuomorphic design to this very day.
But for those who might be nostalgic of the good old days, a free jailbreak tweak dubbed Six (LS) by iOS developer Skitty ports the iOS 6-esque Lock screen with the classic ‘Slide to Unlock’ slider to even the latest iOS devices.
Your iPhone’s rear-facing LED camera flash becomes an excellent makeshift flashlight in a pinch, but have you ever glanced at your handset’s battery level after accidentally leaving your LED flash turned on? I have… and it wasn’t pretty.
With a newly-released jailbreak tweak dubbed OhMyFlash by iOS developer NoisyFlake, you can prevent this from happening. The tweak implements a customizable timeout period, after which your iPhone’s rear-facing flash is automatically turned off.
iPad users have long been able to enjoy multitasking-centric features such as Drag and Drop and multi-window interfaces, but iPhone users have been somewhat unlucky in this department, mostly because Apple limits these features to the iPad since it’s marketed as a mobile productivity device.
If you’re jailbroken, however, then you don’t need to play by these asinine limitations. A newly-released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed DragEnabler by iOS developer Skitty permits iPad-like drag and drop functionality on unsupported devices, including the iPhone and iPod touch.
If you’re anything like me, then you probably like changing your wallpaper periodically to keep your iPhone’s appearance looking fresh over time. On the other hand, finding the right wallpaper can be a long and daunting task for many.
Admittedly, I’m the type of person who enjoys an ounce of haptic feedback when operating my iPhone, and for that reason, I’m always testing out the latest haptic feedback-related jailbreak tweaks as they surface.
One of the newest add-ons in this department is one called Hapticker by iOS developer Soh Satoh, and from what we can gather, it provides haptic feedback for just about anything in iOS that you would ever want it for.
If you’re using either the iOS 11-based Electra jailbreak or the iOS 12-based Chimera jailbreak, each published by the Electra Team, then you just might have some exciting news ahead.
The Sileo Team announced just this morning that an upcoming slew of updates to the Sileo package manager will migrate the app from an Objective-C backbone to Apple’s Swift programming language instead:
With @0ptimo updating the BigBoss repository to be compatible with the Sileo package manager, and teasers coming from all the major players in the jailbreak community as of late, it's a great time to own a pwned handset.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all of this past week’s jailbreak tweak releases in one convenient place. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases in detail and then we’ll outline the rest of them afterward.
