One of the physical pieces of hardware that iPhone owners interact with on the daily is the display of their device. Having said that, wouldn’t it be neat if you could use jailbreak tweaks to enhance its functionality beyond that of the experience Apple gives you when your handset leaves the factory?
Well… there’s no need to daydream, because there are jailbreak tweaks that can make this a reality. That’s why we’re going to show you some of the best jailbreak tweaks for enhancing your handset’s display functionality on jailbroken iOS 15 and 16 devices in this roundup post.
The best display jailbreak tweaks for iOS 16
LastLook
One of the first jailbreak tweaks that might be on your radar, especially for handsets that don’t already support native Always-On Display functionality, is LastLook. That’s because this tweak adds Always-On Display functionality to devices that don’t have this feature from the factory.
LastLook doesn’t simply enable an Apple-style Always-On Display; instead, it includes powerful features that take full advantage of OLED displays and their pure black color capabilities, allows you to view missed notifications at a glance, and incorporates Apple Watch-style complications and widgets, among other things.

AdvancedBrightnessSlider
There’s something to be said about the brightness level of your display, especially as it relates to the lower values and how they still seem eye-searing in the middle of the night when your eyes may have adjusted to complete and total darkness.
The AdvancedBrightnessSlider is an add-on that fixes the display brightness slider in Control Center so that the bottom half of the slider dims the display even more than it normally would. It achieves this by incorporating the accessibility-related Reduce White Point feature, which can make a display appear dimmer than it really is, especially when it comes to OLED displays.
With AdvancedBrightnessSlider, you can get some very dim display results, making display viewing in even the darkest of settings more comfortable for your eyeballs. Best of all, it works with jailbroken iOS 15 and 16 devices.

RaiseLight
When you’re using your iPhone as a flashlight, you probably aren’t too concerned with looking at your iPhone’s screen when raising it up. After all, you’re using your flashlight for a reason, and so your attention is likely laser-focused on whatever it is you’re shining your flashlight at.
The RaiseLight jailbreak tweak disables the iPhone’s native Raise to Wake functionality while you have your flashlight turned on. This not only prevents unnecessary display waking, but it reduces battery consumption during a time when your handset is already dedicating a huge amount of power to the rear-facing LED flash.

YTAutoFullScreen
The latest iPhones have big and glorious displays on them, so why not make sure you’re always taking full advantage of them when watching YouTube videos in the official YouTube app?
That’s the premise behind a jailbreak tweak canned YTAutoFullScreen, which automatically kicks your YouTube video playback into full-screen mode when starting a video. That’s it. A no-nonsense improvement to the way you watch videos.
YTAutoFullScreen supports jailbroken iOS 15 and 16 devices with the official YouTube app installed.

replaced
Have you ever replaced a broken screen on your iPhone before, only be forever plagued by the ‘Unknown Part’ prompt in the Settings app just because you used an aftermarket part?
This is particularly annoying since aftermarket displays can be had for a fraction of the price of OEM, and it seems like Apple goes above and beyond to shame you for going that route. This is just plain wrong, and it should be illegal, but I digress…
With the replaced jailbreak tweak, these messages will no longer plague you after replacing a broken screen on your iPhone with a new aftermarket one, and it works on jailbroken iOS 15 and 16 devices. Simple as that.

TwistNTurn
Rotation Lock is a feature that keeps your iPhone’s display from rotating into landscape orientation just because you turn your iPhone sideways, and a lot of people use it because of the false positive that occurs when laying sideways in bed at night and using their iPhone during this time.
Unfortunately, the fastest way to use Rotation Lock is by opening Control Center, which is an entire step in and of itself. If you’re someone who uses Rotation Lock frequently, then this can feel like a cumbersome process, and that’s why a jailbreak tweak called TwistNTurn exists.
With TwistNTurn, your device gets a floating Rotation Lock button that you can tap from anywhere, at any time, without summoning any additional interfaces. Best of all, the tweak works with jailbroken iOS 15 and 16 devices, so it’s ready for your to take advantage of right now.

Touch-Viz
If you like seeing where you’re tapping with visual feedback on your display, then the Touch-Viz jailbreak tweak is for you.
This add-on simply displays customizable dots on your display anywhere and any time your fingers touch the glass. It works with not only single finger taps, but also with multi-touch taps.
Touch-Viz is fully compatible with jailbroken iOS 15 and 16 devices.

Trim
On certain kinds of iPhones, namely those with notches, there’s a lot of wasted space at the bottom of the display where the tab bar appears in certain apps. This space is typically dedicated to the Home Bar, but some people like to hide the Home Bar.
With the Trim jailbreak tweak, the unused space that gets left behind after hiding the Home Bar can officially be used the right way. By moving the Tab Bar down slightly, users make gains in the number of vertical pixels that become dedicated to displaying information, reviewing in an increase in viewing area to the end user.
Fully compatible with jailbroken iOS 15 and 16 devices, Trim is a major upgrade to any user who hides their Home Bar and wants more viewing space on their iPhone’s display, so be sure to check it out.

Dynamic120hz
A lot of modern iPhones support ProMotion, which provides up to 120 juicy Hz of display refresh rate. Unfortunately, not all apps have been updated to take advantage of this higher refresh rates, and when you’re used to the fluid interfaces that do, moving to apps that don’t support it can feel like a visual downgrade.
With the Dynamic120hz jailbreak tweak, you can force 120Hz display refresh rates in apps that don’t normally support them, ensuring a more seamless user experience between apps that do and apps that don’t.
This tweak might just be one of the most impotent upgrades on this list, assuming you have a compatible device, and it works with jailbreaks running on both iOS 15 and iOS 16.
Be sure to read our full review on Dynamic120hz to learn more about how it works and where you can get it from.
