Raise to Wake is a feature on modern iPhones that users have come to know and love, but there are obviously times when waking the display upon raising the handset isn’t exactly ideal, such as when you’re attempting to be stealthy in bed and your significant other is sleeping.
For these less than convenient times, iOS developer ichitaso has made a free CCSupport-based add-on called RaiseToWake that lets you toggle Raise to Wake on or off on demand from the convenience of Control Center instead of navigating to Settings → Display & Brightness → Raise to Wake to toggle the feature manually.
As you can see in the screenshot examples above, the new RaiseToWake toggle gets added to Control Center once the user drags it into the Control Center interface from the Control Center preference pane in the Settings app. From there, they may turn Raise to Wake on or off from Control Center.
RaiseToWake also adds a dedicated preference pane to the Settings app where a few options can be configured to the user’s liking:
Things you can do here include:
- Reversing the display of the Control Center button
- Choosing a behavior when the Control Center toggle gets long-pressed
According to the developer in their /r/jailbreak release post, RaiseToWake supports iOS & iPadOS versions 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, whether the jailbreak is rootless or rootful. The tweak also supports RootHide.
If you’re interested in giving the tweak a try for yourself, then you can acquire it for free from Ichitaso’s personal repository via your favorite package manager app. If you’re not already using it, the URL to add it is as follows:
