While there hasn’t been a new jailbreak release in a while, there have been a lot of new developments with jailbreak tweaks and updates about iPadOS 18 with respect to palera1n lately.
Your friends at iDB know just how important it is that we provide accurate and timely information, so we cover these topics throughout the work week. But for the busier people out there, we also come back at you every weekend with a roundup just like this one that outlines everything for you.
This weekend, we’ll be taking a closer look at what’s new in the iPhone & iPad jailbreak community spanning the week of Monday, July 29th to August 4th.
Important stuff from this week
Dopamine updates

You can read all about those tweaks in our full roundup post.
Gem Icons
Gem Icons is a new theme pack for the iPhone and iPad that has been around for Android users for ages.
With more than 1,100 icons and a playful aesthetic, this theme can make your Home Screen look like the bee’s knees.
You can find out more about Gem Icons in our full review post.
Cthulhu
The Cthulhu jailbreak tweak allows users to customize text strings that would appear on their Lock Screen, as well as customize what does and doesn’t appear on the Lock Screen in terms of buttons and user interface items.
You can learn more about Cthulhu and how it works in our full review post.
PhotosPlus
With the PhotosPlus jailbreak tweak, users are able to take control of their native Photos app.
Among the things you can do are hide unused tabs from the app and change the way you view videos in the app.
You can learn more about PhotosPlus and what you can do with it in our full review post.
WAIgnoreCalls
Have you ever wanted more control to ignore calls from the WhatsApp Messenger app?
The WAIgnoreCalls jailbreak tweak is especially helpful in this regard, and comes with a plethora of options to filtering incoming calls so that the ones you want aren’t ignored, while the ones you don’t want are.
You can learn more about WAIgnoreCalls in our full review post.
WALocationSpoofer
You can easily spoof your true location in the WhatsApp Messenger app with the help of a new jailbreak tweak called WALocationSpoofer.
With it, you can select a location on a map and that location you select becomes your “current location” as far as WhatsApp is concerned.
You can learn more about WALocationSpoofer and how it works in our full review post.
