When you’re in a phone call with somebody that you know and who is in your Contacts app, iOS is supposed to scale the contact’s photo to fill the screen for as long as you’re in the middle of that call. In some cases, it doesn’t.
Do you like to listen to music on your jailbroken iPhone or iPad? If you answered yes to that question, then you might take kindly to a newly released jailbreak tweak called LSLyrics by iOS developer Mysteryexe, which helps bring your music to life by displaying time-synced lyrics on your device’s Lock Screen background.
Interested in a notification experience on your jailbroken iPhone that doesn’t suck? If you answered yes to that question, then you might want to look at a newly released jailbreak tweak called Looky by iOS developer ella89sp, which changes incoming notification behavior on your Lock Screen to a more hands-free approach.
Developer Riley Testut of the AltStore Team announced an all-new app called Delta Camera back in June that emulated the Game Boy Camera experience on the iPhone. While it used the iPhone’s integrated cameras to operate, it was unique in that the interface allowed users to capture monochrome images with the same aesthetic as those from the original Game Boy Camera interface.
When you’re looking at your iPhone’s Home Screen, you’ve always been able to swipe all the way over to the leftmost page to find your Today widgets. Unfortunately, most people find the Today widgets lacking in capability, if not utterly useless.
iPhone and iPad users alike have long benefited from the native Picture-in-Picture video viewing mode that iOS & iPadOS bring to the table. This mode allows a miniature video window to appear anywhere on your display and over the top of in-app content so that you can keep watching while you multitask.
Normally, whenever you tap on the record button in the Voice Memos app on your iPhone, the app instantly begins recording whatever sound the microphone picks up, be it someone’s voice or something else.
For as long as I have been jailbreaking iPhones, and that’s well over a decade now, users have been using jailbreak tweaks to expand the number of app icons that they can fit in the Home Screen’s Dock from just four to at least five, or more.
One of my all-time favorite Lock Screen jailbreak tweaks, Analog by iOS developer Ginsu, has been updated to version 2.0 this week with official support for iOS 16. But more than simply supporting new firmware, Ginsu made this update particularly special in several ways.
While it’s my opinion that there’s no question iOS & iPadOS 26 drew inspiration for the new Liquid Glass aesthetic from ideas that have floated in the jailbreak community for more than a decade (just take a look at the classic GlasKlart theme to see why I feel that way), it’s typical of Apple to do things their way.
One of the things that Apple really fell short on when it comes to the iPhone is the App Switcher. I’m not the only one who thinks that the iPhone could benefit from an iPad-style grid-centric App Switcher, which utilizes a grid rather than a card carousel to display recently used apps and to make them easier to return to.
If you’re a jailbreaker who’s looking for the next exciting mod to your iPhone’s Lock Screen, then we’d recommend taking a quick look at a newly released jailbreak tweak called Waktos 2 by iOS developer alimaulana, which appears to be the latest take on the once popular Waktos tweak released just over three years ago.
