Dark mode-based jailbreak tweaks appear to be a pretty hot topic of conversation lately, and it would seem that this trend isn’t going anywhere any time soon.
A new free jailbreak tweak called DarkMessages by Sticktron is now available in Cydia that gives the Messages app on jailbroken iOS 10 devices a dark mode-styled makeover.
TextCounter is a new jailbreak tweak that can help put into perspective just how much you're texting people.
It keeps track of how many sent and received messages you have in your Messages app and then shows them to you in various interfaces in the app.
MadridDelete is a new free jailbreak tweak that lets you easily delete SMS and iMessages from either the Lock screen or Notification Center, rather than having to be in the Messages app.
Although you can typically clear notifications and mark messages as read from these places, you have never actually been able to delete a message from the Lock screen or Notification Center until now.
One of the main features of iMessage lets you and your recipients know when the other person is typing. For some, this is a little unsettling and doesn't give you the privacy you may want.
Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called MessageTypingIndicator provides a way to turn this feature off.
Back in the day, Auki was one of the coolest jailbreak tweaks to have on any jailbroken device. It brought a very native-feeling Quick Compose and Quick Reply experience to iOS.
Auki 2 for iOS 9 has been in development for some time, and after all that hard work, it's finally become a finished project and is available in Cydia starting today.
A jailbreak tweak called Discreetify9 lets you filter your incoming notifications based on certain keywords so important notifications are never read by those whom they're not intended for.
If you've got a Mac, then you can easily send iMessages and SMS messages from the Messages app that's baked into your operating system.
Windows users don't have such a luxury. Remote Messages Client, a brand-new third-party desktop client, could change that.
Those of you that are looking for a little more depth in your text messages may be interested in checking out a new free jailbreak tweak called MessageMarkdown.
With this tweak, you can enable basic text markdown features in your Messages app, and we'll talk about how it works in this review.
Learn how to create custom vibration patterns on your iPhone and use them to know who's calling or texting you without even looking at the screen—even in silent mode.
Unlike iMessage, the SMS messages you send on your iPhone are regulated by your carrier and have a character limit of 160 characters.
We'll be showing you in this tutorial how you can turn on a character counter in your iPhone's Messages app so you can have a better idea of the length of the SMS messages you're sending.
Those who are using a Pebble smartwatch rather than Apple's own Apple Watch as an accessory for their iPhone are limited in features, but with a new jailbreak tweak dubbed TextSender for Pebble, there is at least some hope for extended functionality.
TextSender for Pebble will, as the name implies, allow those with a Pebble smartwatch to send text messages from their watch via their iPhone.
Text message scheduling is a useful feature that I'm surprised Apple hasn't already built into iOS' Messages app as a stock feature. After all, sometimes you want to wish someone a Happy Birthday or wish them a great holiday and you may remember before the fact, but you forget when the time actually comes.
Kairos is a new jailbreak tweak that streamlines scheduling out text messages in iOS, and we'll show you how it works in this review.
