Quorra brings iOS 14’s privacy indicator dots to jailbroken iOS 13 devices

When iOS & iPadOS 14 are released this Fall, the software updates will introduce a bevy of useful new features to the iPhone and iPad platforms. Perhaps one of the most intriguing features that seemed to slip under the radar are the new privacy-centric indicator dots that appear the top of the display when an app or service begins accessing your handset’s camera, location, or microphone.

This particular feature was so highly sought after that even the Android community quickly developed a way to port this feature to their handsets. Unfortunately for those running iOS & iPadOS 13 or earlier, a similar solution wasn’t available – at least not until now, thanks to a new and free jailbreak tweak release dubbed Quorra by iOS developer Lightmann.

Effortlessly spoof any jailbroken iPhone’s location on iOS 13 with Relocate Reborn

One of the most popular things you can do with a jailbroken iPhone or iPad is spoof your location. A number of jailbreak tweaks let you do this, but perhaps one of the most simplistic of those releases launched last Summer and was called Relocate by iOS developer Nepeta.

After being on an extended jailbreak tweak development hiatus, Nepeta is now back with the community and has launched an updated version of the aforementioned tweak dubbed Relocate Reborn with full support for iOS 13. As you might come to expect, Relocate Reborn is just as easy to use as the original Relocate tweak, but it comes with a number of additional features that you may find extraordinarily useful.

Chusma notifies users when they’re being tracked via Apple’s ‘Find My’ service

Chances are you probably wouldn’t like it if someone you knew secretively began tracking your every move via Apple’s Find My service, but would you actually ever know if someone was? Apple unfortunately doesn’t provide any sort of straightforward notification to let you know when your handset is being tracked, but the jailbreak community now offers a solution for that.

Say hello to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Chusma by iOS developer Itaybre. Once installed, this tweak provides its users with real-time push notifications whenever anyone begins tracking your iPhone or iPad with Apple’s first party Find My service.
