How to save videos from Google Drive to iPhone Photos and Files app
Camera Roll
MsgSwap makes it easier to share Photo Library media in Apple’s Messages app
One of my biggest pet peeves when using Apple’s Messages app to send Photos to contacts via iMessage or MMS is that you have to jump through hoops just to open the Photo Library picker.
Users will either tap on the Camera shortcut and then launch their Photo Library from the ensuing Camera viewfinder interface, or they’ll tap on the App Store button to view installed iMessage extensions and visit the Photo Library via the dedicated Photos button.
Clear unwanted screenshots from your Photo Library more quickly with Screender
I take so many screenshots every day that it isn’t even funny, and as you might come to expect, they clutter up my Camera Roll in seemingly no time at all.
Typically, I’ll delete all my excess screenshots when I’m finished with them, but a free jailbreak tweak called Screender by iOS developer Esquilliaims to make this process easier by implementing a screenshot delete function directly into iOS’ Control Center interface.

Learn how to prevent photos you take inside Instagram from automatically saving to your iPhone's Camera Roll, which helps declutter your Photos app and saves storage space.
HiddenAlbumLock requires authentication to view the ‘Hidden’ album in your Photos app
You can hide images from the Camera Roll in iOS’ native Photos app to prevent them from appearing in your image list, but hidden images are quickly discovered by prying eyes when someone holding your iPhone opens the “Hidden” album in the Photos app.
If you wish Apple took better care of your Hidden images, then you might enjoy a new free jailbreak tweak called HiddenAlbumLock by iOS developer smokin1337. Just as the name implies, this tweak locks the Hidden album and requires authentication to unlock it for viewing.
FastDeleteX skips the “Recently Deleted” album when deleting pictures from iOS
One of my pet peeves concerning photo deletion on iOS is that everything you delete gets sent to the “Recently Deleted” album in the Photos app rather than being permanently deleted. The result is that you end up deleting everything for a second time to remove it from your device.
Albeit a safety measure in case you change your mind or delete something by accident, this feature creates more work than some people want to deal with. Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called FastDeleteX by iOS developer Mohammad Ghzayel solves this problem for anyone who feels the same way I do.
No Thumbnail keeps Camera Roll thumbnails from appearing in the Camera app
Whenever you use your iPhone’s Camera app to snap photos or shoot video, a thumbnail preview displaying your most recent capture appears at the bottom-left of the interface. This small thumbnail means that anyone can glance over your shoulder and see the last thing you recorded.
If you’d rather keep your most recent photography endeavors to yourself, then you might be interested in a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed No Thumbnail by iOS developer Jbrownllama.
