Depending on how long you’ve been jailbreaking iPhones, you might recall a jailbreak tweak called Harlem Shake by former tweak developer Filippo Bigarella that brought fun and quirky animations to your iPhone’s Home Screen, Lock Screen, and the likes. We covered that release back in 2013, and it was a popular addition back then.
The iDownloadBlog team is always following the latest trends in the iPhone and iPad jailbreak communities to keep our readers apprised of developments as they happen. Some weeks are faster paced than others, while some are slower. In any case, we’re here, reporting on what transpires for our readers.

When you’re using certain apps, it can be a real pain to scroll through what feels like an infinite feed of information, especially when it comes to social media-centric apps like Facebook, 𝕏, and YouTube. But what if we told you there was an easier way to scroll without all the finger fatigue?

Apple officially released iOS & iPadOS 18.4 last week, bringing Priority Notifications to Apple Intelligence, a dedicated Vision Pro app, new Emojis, and other under-the-hood improvements to modern iPhone and iPad owners.
