This tweak can delete all Messages app conversations with a tap

Chronic texters know just how easy it can be to fill iOS’ Messages app with active conversation cells, but what about when it comes time to delete them all?

You could swipe and delete each one individually or you could tap the ‘Edit’ button and select each one individually before deleting them all in one fell swoop. But a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called clearallmesg by iOS developer mr Yacine takes things one step further to make deleting messages in bulk even easier.

This tweak hides when you type to others via iMessage

iMessage is one of my favorite messaging platforms, but I sometimes wish that it provided more privacy while typing to other people. Case in point, I’m not that fond of how iMessage notifies other users with a live status indicator when I’m typing to them.

If you’re in the same boat and you have a jailbroken handset at your disposal, then I think you’ll enjoy using a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called No Typing Indicator 12 by iOS developer ceadd.

This tweak makes the Messages app’s timestamp system more useful

It was just a few days ago that we showed you a jailbreak tweak called ExactTimePhone, which could make your call log history significantly more helpful by detailing the exact time that an incoming or outgoing call transpired if it was more than a few days old. The tweak received lots of positive feedback, but it left the begging question: shouldn’t a similar tweak be made for the Messages app?

If you’re on board with this train of thought, then you’ll probably come to appreciate a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed ExactTimeMessages by iOS developer gilshahar7, as it makes this same concept a reality in iOS’ native Messages app for both iMessage and SMS conversations.

Augment your jailbroken iPhone’s dual-SIM capabilities with eSIM+

Apple’s latest iPhones, from the iPhone XR to the iPhone 13 lineup, support dual-SIM functionality. Straight out of the box, these handsets can have both a physical SIM-based carrier and an eSIM-based carrier configured on the same device for traveling abroad. But perhaps unsurprisingly, the native implementation of this capability on the iOS platform leaves a lot to be desired.

Here to help with this particularly disgruntling issue is a newly-released jailbreak tweak called eSIM+ by iOS developer iArrays. Just as the name implies, this tweak augments any jailbroken iPhone that supports dual-SIM capabilities, such as those mentioned earlier.
