It’s Sunday again, and that means it’s time for another jailbreak tweak roundup.

Apple tweaks the App Switcher user interface with almost every major iteration of iOS. But despite all the changes Apple made over the years, the App Switcher still harbors one recognizable issue: it wastes a ton of screen real estate.
GridSwitcher was a well-accepted jailbreak tweak released in 2015 that attempted to resolve this concern by displaying more apps in the App Switcher at a glance, but it only supported iOS 7 and 8. Today, a new jailbreak tweak called Gauze by iOS developer Antique breathes new life into this idea for jailbroken iOS 10 handsets.
Whenever play music on your handset, the Lock screen becomes immersed with Now Playing music controls and information relevant to whatever might be playing. The controls work exactly how we’d expect them to, but they sport a standardized appearance and lack character.
For those who agree, it may be worth trying a new jailbreak tweak release dubbed Victrola by iOS developer Antique. If effectively provides a polarizing new look and feel for the Lock screen’s Now Playing music controls.
I can’t even keep count of how many times I’ve landed on a non-English web page and needed to use Google Translate to understand what I was looking at. But it now seems that there’s a more straightforward way.
A new free jailbreak tweak called iTranslate by iOS developer Teun Strik builds a translation feature directly into the Safari web browser itself, allowing you to translate words, sentences, or entire web pages in what feels like an instant.
If you use the native Messages app to send iMessages or SMS messages from your iPhone, then you may have noticed the avatar that generally appears in the navigation bar. When you have a contact picture configured for the recipient, that picture displays here; otherwise, you’d see the recipient’s first and last initials instead.
Apple stopped supporting this feature on smaller handsets like the iPhone 5s and earlier with some of the latest iterations of iOS, limiting it to larger-displayed devices such as the iPhone 6 and later. On the other hand, a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Navatar by iOS developer EthanRDoesMC changes that.
While Electra for iOS 11.0-11.1.2 remains the latest jailbreak solution for Apple-branded handsets, there’s been some talk lately about new exploits that impact some of Apple’s latest firmware versions. Nevertheless, nothing has materialized just yet.

You might have noticed that your iPhone displays a spinner-like animation in the Status Bar whenever you access the internet or perform functions in specific apps. This spinner, which is commonly referred to as the activity indicator, lets you know that your device is actively doing something.
For the most part, the activity indicator doesn’t get much attention, but a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed KITTLoader by iOS developer LonestarX gives it an entirely new look and feel.
