Best jailbreak tweaks to port iOS 18 features to iOS 15 & 16

Jailbreak tweaks that bring iOS 18 features to jailbroken iOS 15 and 16 devices.

We always share the latest jailbreak tweaks with our readers when they get released, but we also think its important to take a step back and remind our readers that they can have a lot of the newest features even on their jailbroken iOS 15 and 16 devices.

We’ve made a dedicated roundup that showcases all the jailbreak tweaks you can download and use to get iOS 18’s snazzy new features on your jailbroken handset right now without even updating.

AltStore PAL updates

AltStore PAL, the alternative App Store offered to iPhone owners in the European Union, picked up some bug fixes and improvements in updates to the software this week.

You can learn all about those updates below:

AltStore PAL v2.1.4 released

Nugget updates

The Nugget SparseRestore-based device customization utility for macOS and Windows received updates this week with improvements.

You can learn about the latest Nugget updates below:

Nugget version 4.0 released

NotificationsGroupCount

The NotificationsGroupCount jailbreak tweak is the first of its kind to replicate iOS 18.1’s grouped missed notifications on the Lock Screen, and it’s not just a near-carbon copy, but it’s actually improved.

In addition to bringing the same feature to older jailbroken hardware, this tweak offers more flexibility by way of color options that the stock feature on iOS 18.1 doesn’t have.

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

Trinity

Trinity is a new Shortcut for the iPhone and iPad that lets you view the current firmware signing status for your device in particular and view all DelayOTA options that may be available to you.

You can learn about all the different ways Trinity can help you in our full review post.

CallMeMaybe

Don’t you just hate it when you accidentally place a phone call because you’ve mistakenly tapped on a name or number in the Phone app? Or maybe you’re looking to remove superfluous tabs from the Phone app’s user interface?

In either case, you can take advantage of a jailbreak tweak called CallMeMaybe that fixes both of this problems. You can use it to add a confirmation prompt to initiating phone calls and to remove unwanted tabs from the Phone app.

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

CCBorder

With the CCBorder jailbreak tweak, you can not only add custom borders to your Control Center modules, but you can change their corner radiuses and even customize the colors of the glyphs inside of them.
