Tweak Full Description
Set a time limit for AirDrop's 'Everyone' mode, similar to iOS 16, but more flexible.
- Tweak Background: In the iOS 14 and iOS 15, the native AirDrop 'Everyone' mode has no time limit. This can result in many users either being constantly bothered by unwanted spam files or experiencing additional battery drain.
- Tweak Compatibility: Supports any jailbroken device running iOS 14 - iOS 15.
- Tweak Functionality: Support for customizable duration(1 to 60 minutes) for AirDrop's 'Everyone' mode. After the specified duration, users can choose to automatically revert to 'Receiving Disabled' or 'Contacts Only.' This provides greater flexibility, similar to iOS 16's 'Everyone, 10 minutes,' but with more options.
Note:
- It supports automatic adaptation to 'Everyone, X minutes' in all system areas where 'Everyone' is displayed, and it also supports internationalization.
- It allows for automatic return to 'Disabled'/'Contacts Only' even after 'Everyone, X minutes' is enabled, even when the screen is locked."

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.
