Subscribe to iDB on YouTube

Afsoon is an interesting new jailbreak tweak that lets users make animated kaleidoscope wallpapers on their iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 14-17 via images saved in their Photo Library.

The tweak offers a bevy of customizable parameters so that you can have as minimal of impact on battery life as possible, or as high of detail as possible (whichever you prefer).

You can learn more about Afsoon in our full review post.

RaiseToWake (CCSupport)

The new RaiseToWake (CCSupport) add-on by iOS developer Ichitaso makes it easier to toggle an iPhone’s Raise to Wake feature on and off by utilizing a Control Center-based toggle instead of making the user navigate preference panes in the Settings app.

You can learn more about RaiseToWake (CCSupport) in our full review post.

Icon Restore

Have you ever wanted to save your Home Screen’s app icon layout so that when you change it you can easily revert back to your favorite layout? If so, then you should consider using a jailbreak tweak called Icon Restore.

This simple jailbreak tweak lets users save and restore to previously saved Home Screen app icon layouts with just a tap.

You can learn more about Icon Restore in our full review post.

NoPasteAlerts16

Keep your iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 16 or later from nagging you every time you have something in your clipboard about whether you want to paste it in the next interface you use with the NoPasteAlerts16 jailbreak tweak.
