After a crazy week for Apple that saw the official release of theiPhone 13& iPhone 13 Pro lineup in addition to the official release ofiOS & iPadOS 15, we’re excited to reflect on the fact that there are still tons of jailbreakers out there despite being on older handsets with older versions of iOS & iPadOS.
For those who are jailbroken, you’ll always have a place here at iDownloadBlog. That’s the chief reason why we curate weekly lists like this one, to ensure that tweak discovery is as easy as it can be and to make digesting jailbreak-related information from the previous work week as convenient as possible.
In today’s roundup, we’ll focus on thosejailbreak tweakreleases and jailbreak-centric news posts from this past week, spanning Monday, September 20thto Sunday, September 26th. As usual, we’ll begin by showcasing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of everything else afterward.
Our favorite releases this week
EntitlementFix – FREE
EntitlementFixis a free jailbreak tweak that fixes at least three known 0-day exploits that could have been used by hackers to maliciously target pwned handsets.
Apple has been notified of the 0-days, however has failed to patch at least two out of three of them before releasing iOS & iPadOS 15, prompting their publication.
You can learn more about EntitlementFix and where you can get itin our full review post.
FORCEDEXIT – FREE
FORCEDEXITis a free jailbreak tweak for iPhones and iPads that claims to patch the zero-click exploit that was being actively weaponized in the wild, most notably by the Pegasus spyware.
The tweak operates safely through a tweak injection method and only when your device is in a jailbroken state. Fortunately, with an untether release right around the corner, the jailbroken state should be indefinite in the foreseeable future.

KBPro – FREE
To be frank, the text editing experience on the iOS platform leaves a lot to be desired, especially when you’re selecting and copying or cutting text to paste elsewhere in the operating system.
KBProis a free and simple jailbreak tweak for pwned iOS 14 devices that adds new controls directly to the unused space of the keyboard on notched handsets for the purposes mentioned above.

minimal – $1.49
With notification banners in iOS 14 being somewhat bulky and intrusive, especially when trying to tap on buttons in the navigation bar, a free jailbreak tweak calledminimalMay provide users with the refuge they’re searching for.
The tweak is best described as displaying the app icon of whichever app might be trying to notify you, and it does this via the time indicator spot in the Status Bar. Users can then tap on the icon (if they want to) to reveal the full notification banner, otherwise, it disappears on its own.
Everything you need to know about minimal can be foundin our full review post.
