10 Recently Released Jailbreak Tweaks For iOS [May 2016 Edition]

New jailbreak tweaks for iOS are being released all the time, which is great news if you are a fan of the jailbreak world and like to have new things to try, but it can often be overwhelming for those who are just getting started or simply don’t have the time or the inclination to stay on top of everything.

That’s when choice and availability start to have a negative affect, and that’s no good for anybody.

Luckily enough, though, we’re here to make sure that no worthy tweak goes unnoticed, and to that end, we are going to share ten jailbreak tweaks with you, all of which were released recently. If you’re looking for a new tweak to test-drive this weekend, then look no further.

SwipyFolders

swipyfolders2

Super-charge your folders with this tweak. SwipyFolders allows users to change the icon used for a folder, control what happens when it is 3D-Touched or swiped, and more. Ever wanted to launch an app from within a folder with a double-tap? Install this, and you can.

The tweak is available for free on the BigBoss repo.

Phenomenon

Task switchers are some of the best jailbreak tweaks around, and Phenomenon has a place on that list. Improved gesture support and control over Control Center are amongst the list of things this tweak is capable of.

The tweak goes for $2.99 over at the BigBoss repository.

IGExperiments

igexperiments2

Ever hear about some of the new features that Instagram is testing but you never seem to have access to them? IGExperiments will let you enable things like 60-second videos and the new blank & white UI. Clever stuff.

The tweak is free on the BigBoss repository.

WAContactPicture

This tweak does nothing more than take the standard notification bar and make it considerably thinner. If the standard bar strikes you as too large, then this is for you.

And that’s enough for now – let us know if there are any we’ve missed and enjoy your weekend’s tweaking!
