For anyone who likes the idea of an iPhone interface decorated with meadow-inspired aesthetics to include vibrant flowers and graceful birds, among other things, iOS developer pkgFiles has just released a free jailbreak tweak called MobileMeadow Reborn that revives a popular add-on released around four years ago.
On newer devices such as the iPhone 15 Pro series and the entire iPhone 16 series, the long-accustomed ringer/silent switch on the left side of the device above the volume buttons has been replaced with a customizable Action Button.
Jailbreaking iPhones and iPads runs deep in our culture here at iDownloadBlog, and for that reason, we dedicate much of our time and attention to this hobby for fellow users like us that want to get the most out of their handset without being under Apple’s thumb.
For the first time ever, iOS & iPadOS 18 offer a feature in the Photos app that users have wanted for a long time: looped video playback. This means that when previewing a video in your Photo Library, it will restart from the beginning and play again once the playback reaches its end for a continuous playback that never ends until you swipe away from it.
A feature that I use all the time when recording videos on my iPhone is the still capture button. This button allows you to capture a still frame as a photograph file even as you continue recording a video, and it doesn’t interrupt the video recording process in any way.
Starting with iOS 18, iPhone users can finally tap a pause button to temporarily suspend video recording in the Camera app while in the middle of capturing video. They can then easily resume video recording to build upon the existing video file instead of making an entirely new one.
In addition to the recently released CameraModes jailbreak tweak that iOS developer PoomSmart recently released for controlling which shooting modes do and don’t appear in your device’s native Camera app, the developer has also released a new and free jailbreak tweak called EModeji that replaces the names of your Camera app’s shooting modes with Emojis.
There are several different modes you can utilize in the Camera app for capturing photographs and recording videos, but people seldom use every single one, resulting in what feels like a bloated Camera app experience that some users may feel like paring down to a less-bloated state.
If you utilize widgets on your Home Screen at all, then you probably value seeing information at a glance. But what if you also value seeing your wallpaper? Unfortunately, the size of iOS’ Home Screen widgets can sort of… get in the way.
Two of the most common ways to communicate with other smartphone owners are text messaging and placing phone calls. Each of these communication methods exhibit their own unique appearance and user experience on each platform of smartphone, but Apple’s has always been particularly stagnant on the iPhone.
