16 Best Tweaked Apps For iPhone

If you are looking for tweaked versions of popular apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, you’ve come to the right place.

Many of these apps have certain limitations that can be quite frustrating. For example, Instagram doesn’t allow you to view stories anonymously, and WhatsApp doesn’t allow you to view someone’s message after they deleted it.

Tweaked versions of popular apps can help you bypass those limitations, as well as remove ads on popular platforms such as YouTube.

Read on for the best tweaked apps for iOS.

16 Best Tweaked Apps for iPhone

1. Watusi for WhatsApp

A useful tweak is Watusi for WhatsApp, a tweaked version of WhatsApp for iOS.

It offers many amazing features for privacy. While WhatsApp does have options for hiding your last seen and disabling read receipts, there are some privacy features it doesn’t offer.

For example, there is no way on WhatsApp to hide your typing indicator. If you are typing a message to someone, that person (not other people) will be able to see that you are typing a message, and there is no way to disable that.

What if you want to spend some time drafting a message, without making the other person all anxious about what you are trying to say? Some people just like to type and analyze their texts before sending them.

If you are one of those people, Watusi For WhatsApp will be helpful. It allows you to disable the typing indicator.

It also allows you to disable WhatsApp’s access to the internet and to disable delivery receipts.

Perhaps you want someone to think that you are offline and have no access to the internet, and that their messages weren’t even delivered instead of thinking you are ignoring them; Watusi lets you do that.

When it comes to viewing statuses, Watusi has a host of interesting and exciting features as well. For one, it allows you to change the layout so that statuses appear in a bar at the top of the chat list, instead of in a separate tab.

That allows you to seamlessly switch from chats to new status uploads.

You can download statuses directly from the Watusi app, and you can even mark statuses as read.

If a contact deletes a status, don’t worry – you can still view it if you have Watusi. It’s like a hack that allows you to view statuses that people had second thoughts about!

Watusi makes it easy to upload your own statuses too. If you have a long video you want to upload, you can split it with Watusi into 30-second videos; that is WhatsApp’s length limit for videos you upload to your status.

One cool thing about Watusi is that not only does it allow you to lock your WhatsApp app, but it allows you to bypass this lock on certain Wi-Fi networks.

For example, perhaps nobody visits your home, and you would rather not keep WhatsApp locked at home because it’s inconvenient for you. Besides, there’s no chance that anybody might see something private at your own house.

In that case, you can disable the lock on your home Wi-Fi network while keeping it active on all other networks.

Watusi also makes managing your chats easier. For example, while WhatsApp only allows you to pin three chats at the top, Watusi lets you pin an unlimited number of chats.

You can also view all of your groups on one page to avoid having them clog up your feed.

One cool feature I like is the ability to start a new chat using a phone number. This isn’t actually possible on WhatsApp itself, as you would need to save the person as a contact before chatting with them.

Not only can you view someone’s status even after they deleted it, but you can even view their deleted messages.

If you want to delete a message you sent, you can do it even after WhatsApp’s official timeline has passed.

Some other features include the ability to set up an auto-reply and the ability to customize the look and feel of WhatsApp.

2. BHTwitter

BHTwitter is a tweaked version of Twitter for iPhone. It has several useful features that regular Twitter doesn’t offer, such as the ability to download videos, even from private accounts.

It also has a feature that lets you undo a tweet. Here are some other useful features of this tweaked Twitter app for iOS:

• Download tweets as images.
• Use voice messaging in DMs.
• Automatically load pictures on Twitter in the highest quality possible.
• Hide promoted tweets – no more annoying sponsored ads in your Twitter feed!
• Copy a profile’s information.
• Lock Twitter with a passcode.

Some additional features include:

• Hide the “Topics to Follow” section to avoid seeing unnecessary and uninteresting fluff.
• Force Twitter to stop saving your search history – automatically maintain an empty search history.
• Automatically remove tracking parameters from URLs to avoid cookie tracking.
• Force Twitter to open links in the Safari browser instead of inside the app.
• When you upload a tweet, display a Confirm button. This will help you avoid posting tweets by mistake.

Some other features I liked included the abilities to:

• Add a button in profiles that allows you to translate them if they are in another language.
• Remove the view counts from your tweets.
• Change the font on Twitter.

3. uYou

uYou is a tweaked version of YouTube. It allows you to get certain features of YouTube Premium for free, as well as many other useful features.

For example, you can play videos in the background, even if your screen is locked, a feature that is usually restricted to YouTube Premium subscribers. Similarly, you can enjoy ad-free playback.

You can also download videos, another feature that YouTube doesn’t provide to free users. Not only that, but instead of in-app downloads, you can download videos as MP4 and other file formats directly to your gallery, something that isn’t even available with YouTube Premium.

uYou also provide gesture controls – you can control the volume, brightness, and more by swiping on the screen during playback. It can be used both with and without jailbreaking your iPhone.

4. Instagram++

Instagram++, available from Tutubox, is a tweaked version of Instagram. It adds features that Instagram doesn’t.

For example, one of my biggest gripes with Instagram is that it doesn’t show you which of the people you are following aren’t following you back.

If you are trying to clean your Instagram following list, you probably want to unfollow those who don’t follow you back, but there is no way to do that on Instagram.

Instagram++ shows you that information. It also allows you to hide sponsored ads from your feed and mark posts as seen, along with other features, such as the ability to view a post’s complete timestamp, along with the date and time it was posted.

5. Spotify++

Spotify++ is a tweaked version of Spotify for iOS that allows you to enjoy many of Spotify Premium’s features without paying for it.

For example, Spotify only allows you to skip six music tracks per hour if you are on the free version. With Spotify++, you can skip as many as you’d like.

You can also block audio ads and visual ads.

6. DolphiniOS

This is one of the most popular tweaked apps for iOS. It is a GameCube and Wii emulator that allows you to play GameCube and Wii games on your iPhone.

It doesn’t require jailbreaking and supports iOS versions from iOS 14 and up. It is a completely open-source project with an active developer community.

7. Rocket for Instagram

Another useful app is Rocket for Instagram, a tweaked version of Instagram that adds features Instagram doesn’t want you to have.

Some of its features include:

• Save stories to your library.
• Download posts to your device.
• Long-press on a post to zoom in.

However, some of its most useful features are those that are focused on privacy.

For example, when you view someone’s story on Instagram, he or she will know that you viewed their story. There’s no way to view it anonymously directly on your Instagram app.

Rocket for Instagram allows you to view stories anonymously.

It also allows you to disable read receipts. You can now view an Instagram message without the other person seeing that annoying “seen” label under it.

It even allows you to disable screenshot notifications in DMs.

8. BHInstagram

Another tweaked option for Instagram is BHInstagram, from the same developer as BHTwitter. It has many of the features of the other tweaked Instagram versions and more.

For example, in addition to the ability to download posts, view stories anonymously, disable DM screenshot notifications, and hide ads, you can:

• Activate a confirmation alert before you like a post so you don’t accidentally like someone’s post while creeping on their profile.
• Keep deleted messages.
• Remove the last seen timestamp, so nobody knows when you were last active on Instagram.

9. BHTikTok

Similarly, there is BHTikTok, which is a tweaked version of TikTok. It allows you to remove ads and add confirmation alerts for actions such as liking videos, following new people, and liking comments.

With BHTikTok, you can download someone’s profile image, change your region, and lock the app with a passcode.

You can also fake your follower count and fake a blue check mark! You can even change your region.

10. Duolingo Modded

Duolingo is one of the most popular language learning apps, but while it’s free, it has some limitations.

For example, you only get five free hearts a day, and you lose a heart each time you make a mistake. If you make five mistakes, you might not be able to continue your language learning for a whole day.

With Duolingo Modded, you can activate unlimited hearts and learn to your heart’s content (pun intended)!

11. SCMusicPlus

SCMusicPlus is a tweaked version of SoundCloud for iOS users. If you are annoyed with the ads you see on SoundCloud, try this app.

Not only does it remove ads, but it also removes promoted playlists and upsell buttons. You can download it from GitHub.

12. YouTube++

YouTube++ is a modded version of YouTube for tweaked app lovers. It adds many features that would otherwise not be available without YouTube Premium, including blocking ads and allowing you to download videos for offline viewing.

You can also personalize the default amount of time, in seconds, a video should forward or rewind when you click the forward and rewind controls.

13. WhatsApp++

WhatsApp++ is another popular tweaked version of WhatsApp.

It allows you to personalize the look and feel of your WhatsApp app, along with standard features such as the ability to hide your last seen and disable read receipts.

You can also lock the app with a passcode.

14. CopyLog

CopyLog is a useful clipboard manager for iOS. It allows you to automatically save and search for recent snippets of text you copied to the clipboard.

You can also add certain snippets to your favorites list, so you can easily access them at any time. These could be useful links or copy-and-paste messages you need to send often for whatever reason (such as when new clients contact you).

If a snippet you saved has a link, you can swipe up to preview the web content of the link. It has many other features you will find helpful.

15. SiriPlus

The default voice assistant on iOS is Siri. However, what if you don’t like Siri?

ChatGPT can be a great AI assistant too, but there’s no official way to make it your default voice assistant on iPhones. However, with the tweaked SiriPlus app, it’s possible.

Not only does it let you replace Siri with ChatGPT, but you can replace it with Gemini, which is Google’s AI assistant.

In addition to chatting with the ChatGPT or Gemini assistant through the API, you can allow the API to interact with your phone. It can open apps, write emails for you, search your contacts and start phone calls, open Google Maps, and a lot more.

16. Gesto for iOS 13/14

This app only works for iOS 13 and 14. It allows you to tweak your iPhone so that you can view both the control center and your most recent apps at the same time.

There are two views available. Both of them let you access your control center settings along with your recent apps, allowing you to increase your productivity.

Conclusion

Many of these apps don’t even require jailbreaking which isn’t as important as it used to be. It is possible to sideload many third-party apps onto an iPhone without it.

However, I would still exercise caution before downloading and installing a third-party app from an unofficial source. It is best to use a tool such as VirusTotal to check a downloaded app file before installing it.
