It’s nothing new for iPhone gamers to have notification banners come up and ruin the full-screen gaming experience. But jailbreakers have long had a way around this thanks to jailbreak tweaks like Nepeta’s NanoBanners.
If you’ve used the Serotonin systemwide tweak injection utility (also sometimes referred to as a “semi-jailbreak” by some) for the RootHide bootstrap since its launch, then you’ve likely happened upon the “Confidential & Proprietary, Call +X XXX-XXX-XXXX” message that appears at the bottom of your Lock Screen.
If you appreciate Home Screen themes that elevate the aesthetic value of the first thing you see every time you unlock your iPhone, then you may want to consider a new theme called Ripple by Thenatis.
Many people would agree that iOS 16 made the Lock Screen’s Now Playing media interface more stylish when compared to iOS 15.
I still remember more than a decade ago when I first began jailbreaking iPhones that I would always install a particular theme on my device called Glasklart. I always appreciated the transparent icons on my Home Screen, along with the simplistic glyphs at the center of them.
A good looking theme is sometimes a make-it-or-break-it feature for iPhone and iPad users’ Home Screens, so it’s no wonder that the iDB team features the best themes from time to time.
The App Switcher gives you a place to manage all the different apps you’ve opened recently on your iPhone or iPad. You can move between recently-used apps or remove them from system memory by force-quitting them; that’s about it.
When you scroll up or down on your iPhone, it displays a bar on the right side of the screen to show you where you are in reference to the top of bottom of the page. You can also grab this bar to manually scroll up or down, just like you can on a computer.
Almost a year ago, iOS developer matteozappia discovered a way to enable the Dynamic Island on notched iPhones running iOS 16.0-16.1.2 via the MacDirtyCow exploit.
The Lock Screen typically displays a Control Center grabber at the top-right of the user interface, just underneath the battery level indicator in the Status Bar.
One of the things that has always bugged me about any stock iOS installation is how the native Phone app doesn’t color-code the recent call list in the Recents tab.
If you’d like to add a customizable shortcut to your iPad’s Control Center interface, but you don’t have a jailbreak, then you might be in luck depending on the version of iPadOS you’re running.
