iWhatsApp lets you set up automatic replies for WhatsApp Messenger
It was only a couple of months ago that we gave you the grand tour of a jailbreak tweak called iAutoReply by iOS developer MeBlackHat, which effectively allowed you to set up automatic replies for incoming texts to help you manage the bevy of messages you might receive when you’re unable to respond immediately.

PinHeads WhatsApp ports iOS 14’s conversation pinning UI to WhatsApp
At the start of the month, we showed you a jailbreak tweak called PinHeads by iOS developer Ahmad that ported iOS 14’s conversation pinning capabilities in the Messages app to pwned iOS 13 devices. It was such a hit in the jailbreak community that we quickly saw competing tweak releases aiming to bring the same functionality to users’ handsets. Unfortunately, conversation pinning for third-party messaging apps seemed to be largely ignored… at least until now.
PinHeads WhatsApp is another new jailbreak tweak, also by iOS developer Ahmad, that brings iOS 14-esque conversation pinning capabilities to the third-party WhatsApp Messenger app. As shown in the screenshot examples above and below, the interface is heavily inspired by iOS 14’s native implementation, and as you might come to expect, the tweak’s behavior can be configured depending on the user’s own personal preferences.
