iOS 8 is available for download along with the most recent v8.1 update. Now that the new iOS have arrived, users are waiting for jailbreaks tweaks so that they can access its new features. In the previous year, a lot of iOS 7 jailbreaks tweaks were rolled out which showed that there is still a huge demand for tweaks. Hence, new jailbreaks tweaks are also expected to come to iOS 8. Here are some of the tweaks users can look forward to

Personalized Notification Center Widgets

The Notification Center on the iOS 8 has been improved. It now allows the users to add widgets to the Notification Center which makes it possible to give the users an instant access wide range of information. So, without opening the dedicated apps, one can simply access to the notification center to see updates like latest news, weather forecasts, and more.

So, what will the iOS 8 Jailbreak tweak will do for the Notification Center? Well, it will let you do more with the widgets in the Notification Center. iOS 8 only allows you to place only supported widgets in the Notification Center. After jailbreaking the iOS 8, users will be able to add even those widgets that are not supported yet. It could even allow arrival of those standalone widgets that can let users give access to varied information of the handset. For instance, a new widget may allow quick access to information like battery status and processor usage.

More Features for iMessage

iMessage is the default message for creating texts on iOS 8. It now allows users to quickly send media files like pictures, video clips and audio files to other iPhone users. The iOS 8 jailbreak would certainly introduce new features to the iMessage. As of now, it only allows users to send one photo at a time. The jailbreak tweak will make it possible to share multiple photos at a time.

There may be some other features like scheduled SMS that may come to iMessage. We are not sure what new features may come forth but it is certain that the iMessage will certainly receive enhancements with iOS 8 jailbreaks tweaks.

Third Party NFC

The Android and Windows Phone powered devices have been featuring the NFC chip since quite some time. However, Apple has introduced the NFC chip in the newer iDevices that have released in this year. The iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 Plus, the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini 3 all feature the NFC chip.

With the NFC chip onboard, users can make payments by flashing their handsets at the payment terminal at shopping centers. Apple has launched an exclusive mobile payment service called the Apple Pay with which only the new iPhones can be used for making payments.

iOS 8 jailbreaks tweaks will certainly bring a whole lot of new capabilities for the NFC chip. It will let users to sue NFC tags and touch NFC enabled devices with each other to perform data transfer like sharing photos wirelessly.

The NFC which stands for Near Field Communications has been one of the most desired features that was expected to come to iPhones since several years and it is only this year that the Cupertino company has made the feature available on the iDevices released this year. Few months down the line, Apple may allow third parties to build different kinds of NFC related apps but it is not going to happen any time soon. Until then, the iOS 8 jailbreaks tweaks will unlock the NFC chip to support third parties unofficially.

File Explorer for iCloud Drive

Apple has introduced iCloud Drive feature with the new iOS 8. Even the OS X Yosemite comes with the very same feature. iCloud Drive is Apple’s answer to competitors like Google Drive and Dropbox.

On the OS X Yosemite, users can easily access any files from the iCloud Drive, add and remove files form it conveniently. On the iCloud Drive app for iOS 8, such things cannot be done. Sadly, even the service is called iCloud Drive, users are not actually able to use as a ‘’Drive”.

So, what is missing is a file explorer feature for iCloud Drive. By the way, there used to be dedicated called the iCloud File Explorer which allowed users to browse the files present on the cloud storage from Apple but app was quietly removed by Apple from the app store.

Since there is a need for a file explorer, Apple may introduce an official file explorer app for iCloud Drive for iOS 8 users. However, the chances of it happening are miniscule. Since it is a much needed feature, chances of arriving through iOS 8 jailbreaks tweaks are quite high. If it happens, it may force Apple to launch the official app for said feature soon.

Activate Siri All the Time

Apple iOS 8’s virtual assistant feature called Siri can be launched only when the user says “Hey Siri” to the device. This activates the feature and from then it starts listening to what user says. Cool thing is that users do not touch the handset to access the dedicated app to launch Siri.

By the way, in order to quickly start the Siri voice assistant app by calling out “Hey Siri”, users are required to keep the device plugged to a power source. Well, the cool feature does not sound cool anymore.

iOS 8 jailbreaks tweaks are waiting to get unleashed. Users would surely want to access Siri by calling out it even when it is not connected to a power outlet. We are not sure when would release an update that would keep Siri always listening irrespective of the fact that the device is connected to wall socket or not. We strongly feel that the iOS 8 jailbreaks tweaks may introduce this feature so that users can make the best use of Siri.
