If you’ve tried to change video playback quality in the YouTube app recently, then you’ve likely come face-to-face with the platform’s new video playback quality selector.
Anyone who uses YouTube religiously will likely have noticed a new feature in the app recently called Shorts. These are effectively short videos that YouTubers can publish to their channel, mostly to attract viewers.
The iOS 14.5 update that launched almost a month ago fixed an annoying bug impacting iOS 14.0-14.4.2 devices in which when an iPhone connected to CarPlay, any paired Apple Watches would inconveniently stop notifying the user about incoming phone calls.
If you’ve been reading iDownloadBlog for a while, then you might remember when we showed you a jailbreak tweak called Orion almost exactly one month ago. It was easily the most comprehensive all-in-one tweak that we’ve ever showcased here, but if you want something a little less intimidating to get your feet wet with, then you might appreciate a new release called 1ONE by iOS developer Mostafa.
Most iOS 14 users are familiar with the App Library by now. For those who aren’t, it’s the additional page all the way to the right of the Home Screen that sorts your installed apps by their categories.
It’s no secret that you can use your iPhone to fall asleep to your favorite music, but the way it’s implemented by Apple from the factory is intensely restricted. More specifically, users only get the option to set a timer that, after it ends, causes any music playback to end.
One of the things you’ll notice when tapping on links in apps on your iPhone or iPad is that some apps launch the full-fledged Safari web browser app to load a web page while others launch an in-app web browser that’s based on Safari.
The Now Playing interface that greets music listeners on the iPhone’s Lock Screen works, but it’s not quite as aesthetically pleasing as many would like. Interestingly, it receives minor changes with each major iteration of iOS, but none that really stand out to someone who’d like a total redesign.
If there’s one thing jailbreakers see a lot of, it’s the little animated loading circle that appears following a respring.
Any jailbreakers with an interest in changing the way their iPhone’s Lock Screen looks may want to refresh their package manager’s sources.
A newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Hinata by iOS developer Sugiuta replaces the iPhone’s familiar Lock Screen aesthetics with something that appears to be inspired by the Samsung Galaxy Lock Screen.
I love using my iPhone to listen to music, but I can’t lie – I really can’t stand how iOS reduces the music playback volume when a notification tone comes through. This problem really becomes evident when your favorite part of the song is about to come up and someone just happens to text message you at that exact moment.
All I can say to that is… Ugh!
iOS 14 brought with it what could only be described as the biggest upgrade to the iPhone’s Home Screen to date. The integration of native widgets alongside app icons means that the Home Screen is no longer limited to a bland grid of icons.
But despite this change, many would argue that the Home Screen still looks and feels the same — especially if you still use the Today page as a dedicated home for all your widgets.
