Tabsa13 gives jailbroken iPhones iPad-like tabbed web browsing

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 12, 2020

One of the things I love most about web browsing on my iPad is that Safari supports a tabbed browsing experience. I’ve wanted Apple to implement this very functionality for iPhone for years, but instead, we get a gimped card switcher-style web browsing experience that makes it more cumbersome to switch between websites on the fly.

If, like me, you wish the iPhone had an iPad-style tabbed web browsing experience, then there’s no doubt in our minds that you’re going to enjoy a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Tabsa13 by iOS developer Kevin Muller as it brings this very functionality to jailbroken iPhones everywhere.

Safari in Messages lets you view webpages in the Messages app itself

Anthony Bouchard ∙ June 13, 2020

I send and receive a lot of internet links via my iPhone’s Messages app, and one thing I can’t stand about the user experience in this respect is that tapping on a link jolts me out of the Messages app and into the Safari app. Why couldn’t Apple just build a simple webpage UI into the Messages app like several well-respected third-party app developers do in their own apps?

If you agree that the latter experience would make a lot more sense, then you’re likely to enjoy a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Safari in Messages by iOS developer Andrew Abosh. Just as the name implies, this tweak makes it so that internet links load natively inside the Messages app via a dedicated webpage UI without actually moving you to the Safari app.
