Hackers making untethered jailbreaks and making money from hacked devices have practically “buried” this topic.

Many potential attackers have decided not to use the Pangu utility. This is in vain, because even today there are several worthwhile tweaks that are worth jailbreaking for.

Here are my eight reasons for jailbreaking iOS 9.3.3:

1. Activator – perform any action with a convenient gesture

The most famous tweak, which has been installed on millions of jailbroken iPhones and iPads for years. In most cases, an extension is downloaded as a dependency for other add-ons. Only a small part of users get the most out of the tweak.

As soon as I have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad, I download Activator and make the following settings:

  • I add a quiet mode without using vibration, which I activate by simultaneously pressing both volume keys;
  • I configure Airplane mode to turn on when connected to a power source, so the device always charges as quickly as possible. I immediately set the mode to turn off when the gadget is fully charged;
  • I add a number of useful gestures, for example, by swiping from the lower left corner of the screen I launch the multitasking panel, and from the lower right corner I close the application;
  • For the Home button I add actions with single and double taps (not pressing, but touching Touch ID). I configure it in the same way as pressing a button, I get touchpad without the need to press a button, the resource of the key increases significantly and there are no clicks when working with the gadget;
  • when used with Apple Watch I add a kind of anti-theft protection. If pairing with the watch is interrupted, music starts playing loudly on the iPhone;
  • I set up my own energy saving mode. When the battery drops below 20%, I turn off the wireless modules and geolocation; when it drops below 10%, I turn off the auto brightness control, turn down the backlight and turn off the sound. Of course, you can customize it your way;
  • I’m adding a number of actions in case of receiving an SMS from a specified subscriber with a specific code. In case of loss, a message with the specified text is sent to the phone, and it, in turn, turns on all the modules so that it can be detected via iCloud.

This is just a set of my standard actions, a dozen more settings are made depending on the situation.

2. FlipControlCenter – add the necessary switches to the Control Center


Since the introduction of the bottom curtain in iOS 7, many users have dreamed of being able to add their own switches there. With jailbreak this is possible.

The top row contains the necessary buttons for quick start mobile internet and switching 3G\LTE, next to it there is a button to disable geolocation and another one to force the energy-saving mode to turn on.

As a bonus, you can add a bright and dim glow for the flashlight (activated by a simple or long press on the button) and go to the desired section in the Clock application when launched from Control Center. Initially, the stopwatch starts, but it’s more convenient for me to go straight to the alarm clock.

3. NoSlowAnimation – remove annoying animation in the system


A miniature tweak that disables long animations in iOS. Users of devices without jailbreak can torture themselves and try to do this in a similar way.

Disabling smooth transitions visually speeds up your iPhone. If, after a couple of days of using the tweak, you disable its actions, it will seem as if you started using the iPhone 4 after the usual six.

4. SafeHouse Pro – disable password entry within the range of your home Wi-Fi


This extension will allow you to disable the unlock password on your device when it is connected to your home Wi-Fi networks. It’s definitely high time to add such a feature to iOS.

Why use a fingerprint scanner or password several dozen times a day when you are at home?

5. Power Saver Mode – double the battery life of your iPhone


The easiest way to extend time battery life iPhone – enable native power saving mode. This will not only shut down a number of background processes, but will also shut down the device’s processing power.

Most unpretentious users can use the iPhone in this mode all day long, and if necessary, turn off the mode and “overclock” the iPhone to 100%.

Unfortunately, iOS will not allow you to do this and will force you to turn off this mode after charging the gadget. This will not happen with the Power Saver Mode tweak; moreover, we will get several new options.

6. SwipeSelection – move the cursor by swiping across the keyboard


Another long-lived tweak that invariably works for everyone iOS versions with jailbreak. It allows you to swipe on the keyboard to move the cursor. Something similar is available on the latest iPhones with 3D-Touch, but we want to work comfortably on other smartphone models as well.

7. FullForce - use iPhone apps on iPad correctly


Still not all developers in App Store remember that there is such a thing in nature as an iPad. Many programs and games do not support working on a large screen and run in a reduced mode. I don’t want to use such software until the FullForce tweak appears on the device.

The extension correctly adapts the application size to the iPad screen. No stretched textures or missing menu items. Everything works very well, as if the application originally had tablet support.

8. KuaiDial – add a dozen useful features to the Phone application


While the previous tweak is intended exclusively for iPad owners, this one is only suitable for jailbroken iPhone owners. A multifunctional solution that completely upgrades a standard dialer.

The main feature is smart dialing using the first numbers or letters of the subscriber’s name, which will allow you to find a contact in 3-4 clicks. There is vibration when the call is picked up at the other end, a number is displayed when calling, and not just the name of the subscriber, and an advanced blacklist.

If you dig a little deeper into the settings, you can add a base Russian operators and always see on the screen which region they are calling from.

Phablet owners will be pleased with the ability to display the end call key during an incoming call. This way you won’t have to reach for the button on the right side of the device.

As is known, in alternative store Cydia applications contain a huge number of tweaks and extensions, many of which are paid.
