Split View multitasking and Slide Over on the iPad are both great, when they work. Unfortunately, Apple limits this functionality to certain apps, such as Settings. That said, wouldn’t it be just wonderful if this helpful functionality extended to all apps instead of a select few chosen by Apple?
Just over half a year ago, we showed you a jailbreak tweak called Dynamic Stage by iOS developer tomt000 that brought iPad-class split view multitasking experience to jailbroken iPhones.
The App Switcher gives you a place to manage all the different apps you’ve opened recently on your iPhone or iPad. You can move between recently-used apps or remove them from system memory by force-quitting them; that’s about it.
If you’re a jailbreaker on any modern jailbreak and you’ve been waiting for a ‘this is the one’ jailbreak tweak to emerge, then we’ve got a treat for you.
For folks who like having more color at their fingertips when interacting with their iPhone’s user interface, the popular SwitchShades jailbreak tweak by iOS developer AnthoPak has been updated this week to support rootless iOS 15 and 16 jailbreaks such as Dopamine and palera1n.

As lovers of ongoing interfaces changes throughout iOS iterations, we wouldn’t fault you for starting to get bored of the iPhone’s same old App Switcher interface. After all, it’s beginning to show its age. Fortunately, iOS developer SparkDev is out with a new rootless jailbreak-supported tweak called Aion that now only provides a novel user experience, but may even evoke some hints of nostalgia if you’ve ever used iOS 6.
Do you value enhanced multitasking features on your mobile devices? If so, then you might be excited to learn that MilkyWay4-rootless jailbreak tweak by akusio is now available and supports the latest rootless jailbreaks such as Dopamine and palera1n on iOS & iPadOS 15.x.
