Tweak Full Description
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH BOOTSTRAP / SEROTONIN / ROOTHIDE
Vizage brings face unlock to devices with a home button which is a very popular feature on many Android phones. If you have a Touch ID device but would like to unlock your device with your face instead, this is the tweak you need. It uses your iPhone front camera to take a photo of your face and will only unlock if it gets a match with the pre-registered faces.
It supports the following functions:
- Unlock lock screen
- Substitute Touch ID in apps to use face scan
- Password autofill authentication
- Authentication when downloading free apps on Appstore
You can register up to 4 faces in the tweak in case you need it to unlock to your girlfriend/wife face!!
With Vizage installed, you can only use face scan and any Touch ID fingerprint function will no longer work.
Accuracy and Security:
Since this is just comparing camera images, it will be not be secure as Face ID which uses infra-red sensors mapping to build a 3d representation of your face. It is likely to be fooled if you someone put a photo of your face in front of the camera. Regarding it's accuracy, it is unlikely to unlock to other people's face but only to yours. Note that in low light environment, the images from the front camera will be of lower quality and this is greatly impact the recognition accuracy. To reduce this effect, Vizage provides a front flash option. Since iPhone front camera has very bad quality images in darker scenes, face unlock might fail more often in those scenarios. You can always use passcode to unlock if it happens.
Compatibility:
Vizage is only compatible with iPhones running ios 14-16 and will not work with iPad. It will also work with notched devices having a broken Face ID module although this is experimental. Xina/Palera1n rootful jailbreak is not supported. It will not work with Apple Pay.
Privacy:
All the face data and verification is performed offline on-device itself preserving your privacy.
A11 devices support:
Vizage requires a lock screen passcode to work. If you are on A11 device like iPhone 8 or X, you can still set a passcode with Vizage and then use face unlock. Note that if you are currently using checkl0ck, you will have to remove it to use Vizage. Checkl0ck and Vizage are completely different tweaks with divergent aims. To simplify it, if you have a Face ID device and want to use that to unlock your device, then you need to use checkl0ck. if you have a Touch ID device and want to use your fingerprint to unlock your device, then you need to use checkl0ck. If you want to use face unlock via camera, then you should use Vizage.

What are iOS Tweaks?
iOS tweaks are modifications that enhance the functionality of iPhones and iPads beyond what Apple officially allows. These small software packages can only be installed on jailbroken devices, where the restrictions imposed by Apple have been bypassed, giving users more control over their iOS experience.
What are iOS jailbreak tweaks used for?
Jailbreak tweaks serve numerous purposes, ranging from cosmetic changes to powerful functionality enhancements:
- Customization: Tweaks allow users to personalize their iOS experience by changing app icons, modifying the control center, creating custom themes, and adjusting system animations.
- Enhanced Functionality: Many tweaks add features Apple doesn't provide, such as file management capabilities, advanced screenshot tools, call recording, and system-wide gesture controls.
- App Modifications: Tweaks can enhance existing apps with new features or remove limitations. For example, tweaks might enable downloading content from streaming apps, remove ads from applications, or add additional tools to messaging platforms.
- System Optimization: Some tweaks focus on improving device performance, battery life, or adding more efficient ways to manage background processes.
- Privacy and Security: While jailbreaking itself has security implications, certain tweaks actually enhance privacy by allowing more granular control over app permissions, network monitoring, and data access.
Where to find iOS tweaks?
Jailbreak tweaks are typically distributed through alternative app stores like Cydia, Sileo, or Zebra. These repositories host thousands of tweaks created by independent developers, ranging from free offerings to premium packages.
Important considerations
Before diving into the world of jailbreak tweaks, users should be aware of several important factors:
- Warranty implications: Jailbreaking voids Apple's warranty, though restoring a device to its factory state typically reverses this.
- Security risks: Jailbreaking removes Apple's security sandboxing, potentially exposing your device to malware if tweaks are downloaded from untrusted sources.
- Stability issues: Poorly developed tweaks or conflicts between multiple tweaks can cause system instability, app crashes, or battery drain.
- Update challenges: When Apple releases new iOS versions, users must wait for compatible jailbreak tools before updating, often leaving them without security patches.
The evolving landscape
The world of iOS jailbreaking has evolved significantly over the years. As Apple has added features that were once only available through tweaks (like widgets, dark mode, and app library), the gap between stock iOS and jailbroken devices has narrowed. Nevertheless, the jailbreak community continues to push boundaries, creating innovative modifications that demonstrate what iOS could potentially offer in future official updates.
For users who value customization and control over their devices, jailbreak tweaks remain an appealing, if somewhat risky, way to transform their iOS experience beyond Apple's walled garden.
