How to Jailbreak iOS 10.1.1

Luca Todesco, the Italian jailbreaker that showed off jailbreaks in the past without releasing them has finally released a jailbreak of his own. His tool, called Yalu, works to jailbreak iOS 10 up to iOS 10.1.1. Unfortunately, iOS 10.2 is out so that means this will only work for those that haven’t updated to 10.2 yet and will, of course, become obsolete as more people update to 10.2 (since you can’t downgrade back to 10.1.1). But, if you are on iOS 10.1.1 or a lower version of iOS 10, feel free to follow the steps below to get jailbroken and

How to Sync Facebook Contact Photos to the iPhone (Video)

Maybe it’s OCD but I can’t stand looking at the messaging app on my iPhone and seeing letters where people’s faces should be. Android, at least at some point, always had the ability to sync my Facebook contact photos with my phone contacts and frankly, it annoys me that both of the most popular operating systems now both can’t do that automatically. Who pissed off who to stop that integration?! I’m looking at you, Zuckerberg. Thankfully though, there is still a way to sync your contact photos on your iPhone with their Facebook profile photo –you just need to use

How to Disable the Home Button Press to Unlock in iOS 10

After years of us having to swipe to unlock, Apple finally nixed it. Instead users have to click their home button to get the screen to unlock. Now, while this did give Apple extra real estate on the lock screen for things like widgets, to some, the change is just too much to bear. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to get the swipe to unlock back, but you can at least get it to just be the old touching of Touch ID to unlock your iPhone. So here’s a quick how to disable the press to unlock in iOS 10. Disable the

How to Get Portrait Mode on the iPhone 7 Plus Right Now (Video)

When Apple unveiled the new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, there was a neat camera trick that the 7 Plus could do thanks to it’s dual camera setup called Portrait Mode. Essentially, this feature allows you to create a more bokeh look with a crisp in focus subject and a slightly blurred background. Thing is, Apple didn’t actually enable it out of the box. They said they were still working on it and would release it in a new update. That update is iOS 10.1 but it isn’t available except in beta. So, in this video, I’m going to show
