PopOutButtons ports iOS 18’s pressed button animation to jailbroken devices on older firmware

There’s no shortage of apps from the App Store that ask you to rate them, and while we understand that iOS app developers are eager to receive good reviews in the App Store, the nagging and persistent pop-ups can be somewhat annoying to the end user.

But if you’re on an earlier, perhaps jailbroken firmware, then you might be wondering how you can improve your existing Calculator app without updating.
CC18 gives jailbreakers round Control Center modules like on iOS 18
One of the more significant changes in iOS & iPadOS 18 relates to Control Center’s design and functionality. Right off that bat, putting it side-by-side with an iOS & iPadOS 17 device, you would notice that Control Center on iOS & iPadOS 18 sport a rounder aesthetic.
