Have a favorite iOS widget, but wish you could see it directly from the Lock screen without needing to swipe over to the Today page? There’s a jailbreak tweak for that!
If you answered ‘yes’ to the question above, then we’d like to introduce you to LockWidgets, a newly released add-on by iOS developer ConorTheDev that lets you pin your favorite Today widget to the primary Lock screen page so you can view it at a glance:
If you’ve ever used an iPad before, then you should already know that it sports handy capabilities that can’t be had on the iPhone or iPod touch — at least not on a stock device, that is.
With the help of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called ipadify by iOS developer Guilherme Rambo, you can port several of the iPad’s premier features to smaller handsets, including native picture-in-picture video viewing and the ability to side-load iPad-only applications like Photoshop.
Apart from a few tiny revisions in iOS 7 and later, iOS’ notification badge system has appeared mostly unchanged since its conception. Jailbreakers seeking a fresher take on notification badges would do good to check out a newly released jailbreak tweak called CozyBadges by iOS developer NoisyFlake.
As depicted in the multitude of screenshot examples above, CozyBadges replaces the traditional red circular notification badge with something much more subtle — an updated icon label that appears highlighted or colorized when there are missed notifications. Moreover, the label can be configured to display alternative text, assuming the user wants this.
Your handset’s Status Bar displays pertinent information about current events, including the time, battery percentage, internet connection source, VPN connection, and even the date if you happen to be using using an iPad. But it also displays various icons and indicators depending on what your device is doing, such as location usage, personal hotspot usage, web loading activity, and more.
Those who’d like a greater command over what appears in the Status Bar may want to try using a jailbreak tweak called HideStatusBarItemsPro by iOS developer Chashmeet Singh. Just as the name denotes, this add-on lets users choose what does and doesn’t appear in their pwned handset’s Status Bar.
People seem to value privacy more than ever these days, and with such a massive part of our lives taking place in digital conversations, isn’t it about time we do more to protect them?
Not all apps incorporate native conversation-centric privacy features, but with the help of a newly released jailbreak tweak called ChatLock by iOS developer Elias Sfeir, you can lock individual conversations in several of your favorite messaging apps with just a few taps to prevent friends and family from logging into your device and reading your personal chats.
I try a lot of different headphone types, multiple styles of cans, ear buds, in ear monitors (IEMs), AirPods, active noise cancelling, etc. It is generally safe to say, in the headphone market, you get what you pay for. I wanted, however, to challenge that perception by purchasing an extremely low cost pair of buds and see if they could hold their own against other pricier models I tested in the past. Let's take a look at these $19.99 in-ear monitors.
When was the last time you played a racing game? Because it's been a while since the last time I played one. That's why I was actually looking forward to checking out Speed Demons, a new racing developed by Radiangames.
Speed Demons looks like it has potential. A lot of cars, different game modes for people than don't like regular racing games and a ton of things to collect. On paper, it may seem like a great game. But we need to take this game for a test drive in today's Arcade review.
If you’re anything like me and you change your wallpaper somewhat frequently, then you might've noticed how some of the best wallpapers are optimized for horizontally-oriented displays such as laptops and tablets rather than vertical ones found in smartphones.
Applying these types of wallpapers on your iPhone generally results in an unpleasant viewing experience, but with the help of a newly released jailbreak tweak called Continuity by iOS developer Johnny Waity, you can make even the widest of wallpapers look fascinating on your tall smartphone display.
Dark mode is one of my favorite new features in iOS 13, but Apple doesn’t give you too many options as far as switching between dark and light mode is concerned apart from doing so manually and automatically based on the time of day it is.
An iOS developer by the name of Smokin1337 recognized that this as something that could be improved, and with that in mind, a new and free jailbreak tweak called AdaptiveDarkMode was conceived.
Have you ever misplaced your iPhone somewhere in your home, but had immediate access to a paired Bluetooth device? If so, then you might be excited to learn about a new jailbreak tweak called BlueFinder by iOS developer AnthoPak.
From what we can gather, BlueFinder lets you use a paired Bluetooth accessory to trigger an audible ringing sound on your misplaced handset. This has significant advantages for clumsy folk who consistently drop their iPhone between the sofa cushions or leave their handset somewhere in the house and forget where they put it.
It's been one heck of a week given everything that's been going on with the checkra1n team's new jailbreak tool, but jailbreak developers continue to bang out new new and exciting jailbreak tweaks that make tinkering with a pwned handset a lot more fun.
In this roundup, we'll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks that were launched from Monday, November 11th to Sunday, November 17th. As always, we'll kick things off by discussing our favorites and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Another week, another round of episodes for Apple TV+'s starting high-stakes shows The Morning Show, See, and For All Mankind.
