When attempting to measure your iPhone’s wireless signal strength, be it cellular or Wi-Fi, you will often see dBm (decibel milliwatts) used for the unit of measure for your received signal strength.
VPN usage has exploded over the past few years as users grow ever more concerned about their personal privacy while using the internet. Having said that, many iPhone users trust VPNs to browse the web anonymously.
It was only around two weeks ago that we showed you a jailbreak called dubbed Axe that upgraded the Status Bar’s battery level indicator with a slow-shifting color based on the percentage of your battery.
Whether cryptocurrency piques merely your interest or you’re actively spending or trading cryptocurrency, having quick and reliable access to real time value data can be extraordinarily helpful.
iOS automatically regulates RAM usage to prevent apps or the operating system itself from bogging down, but that has never stopped jailbreakers from wanting to view their device’s free RAM remainder in a convenient manner.
Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs for short, have become an increasingly popular way for consumers to keep their data private and secure while browsing the web via a computer, smartphone, or tablet.
On iPhones, a VPN icon will be displayed in the Status Bar after you connect to one. But notched iPhones like the iPhone X and later minimize the VPN indicator to interfaces with full-sized Status Bar due to size constraints, such as that of Control Center.
It was just over a year ago that we showed our readers a free jailbreak tweak called Peep that allowed jailbroken iPhone users to hide their Status Bar with a single tap, and it was an instant hit.
Jailbroken on iOS 14, but not entirely sure how to customize your handset to help it realize its fullest potential? If you said yes to that question, then you’ve come to the right place.

That’s something that a new and free jailbreak tweak called StatusBarTimer by iOS developer ldefix2020 aims to fix, as it puts the timer remainder in the Status Bar so that you can see it from just about anywhere in iOS.
One of the things I really like about iOS and iPadOS is that a tiny colored dot manifests itself in the Status Bar when your handset’s camera or microphone activates. Not only is it a great way to be reminded that your hardware is being used in the background, but it also promotes privacy by ensuring you’re in the know whenever an app taps into your camera or microphone.
I can’t count on my own two hands the number of times I’ve witnessed someone who forgot their device’s flashlight on and failed to realize it either because they were out in the Sun or because the LED flash was being covered by something.
