Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) while browsing the web can help you surf anonymously. Other people use them to spoof their location to unlock features that may be out of reach in their region. Whatever the case, VPNs are useful tools, and iOS developer Snail wants to make your jailbroken iPhone’s VPN handling more intelligent.
The Status Bar is something that normally appears in just about every interface on your iPhone, including active phone calls. It alerts you to things like the current time, your cellular and Wi-Fi signal strengths, and your battery level, just to name a few things.
If you have a jailbroken iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max, then we’d say you have quite the unicorn in your hands. It’s the newest device that you can currently jailbreak, assuming it’s running a supported firmware; and moreover, it’s the only jailbreakable handset with the coveted Dynamic Island.
The Status Bar is one of the most important informative components of the iOS user interface, containing not only the current time, but also your cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity status, among other things. With that in mind, it’s a head scratcher as to why Apple excluded it from the App Switcher.
iOS developer 82flex has discovered a relatively ingenious way to make you aware of when you’re connected to a VPN without cluttering your Status Bar with additional icons, and they’re released their idea in the form of a new jailbreak tweak called Single VPN.
One of the unique features about the iPhone 15 series and later is that they remove the single-function ringer/silent switch in favor of the newer Action Button, which users can re-assign to different functions that are completely separate of ringer/silent controls.
Once a longstanding favorite of the jailbreak community for customizing the Status Bar with third-party icons, the Zeppelin jailbreak tweak was never updated to take advantage of the latest rootless jailbreak tools for iOS & iPadOS 15 and 16.
Dual SIM functionality really took off on the iPhone platform with the adoption of eSIM technology. What first started out as one physical SIM and one eSIM quickly became dual eSIM to become the new standard today.
Have you ever wanted to just totally hide your iPhone’s Status Bar from view before?
All-in-one jailbreak tweaks are something of a popular commodity in the iPhone jailbreaking community today. A spot that was once almost exclusively held by now legacy jailbreak tweak Springtomize is now filled with a bevy of different like-minded tweaks including Genesis 4, Lynx 2, and others. But what if we told you there was another…?
Just last month, we showed you an add-on for TrollStore called TrollSpeed that could display your handset’s current download and upload speeds in the Status Bar, or right above the Dynamic Island if you had one.
If you’ve ever wanted to have current active upload and download speeds near the Status Bar on your TrollStore-equipped device, then we’ve got some news for you. Now you can!
