Jailbreakers Made It Too Easy for Apple – What Has Apple Stole from Them

Thanks to the stability improvements, iOS has now the best security tools, lots of app and services to enjoy and a friendly user interface. Each update comes with better things that make the experience the best one for iPhone users. However, you need to keep in mind that it’s not all thanks to Apple’s genius, as most of the features come from tweaks made by the jailbreak community.

You get a camera shortcut on the lock screen, you get to quick replay to messages directly from notifications, you get screen recording support – and not only, but these also are just the tip of the iceberg and were possible even before Apple got them for their operating system.

We all remember how it was when iOS first made its appearance – it just had a few options for customization, but people from the jailbreak community figured out how to improve the software from Apple, and now it’s easier for more technical users to do many things – things that Apple couldn’t even imagine.

The control center

It was first introduced in iOS 7, and it’s that thing that allows you to swipe up (from the bottom of the screen initially, now it’s a swipe down from the top-right of the screen if you have Face ID). Here is where you find the Airplane Mode Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Do Not Disturb and Portrait Orientation Lock.

Jailbreak versions had some features like these, and it was long before the iOS 7 was released. SBSettings came together with the customizable toggles, things that will later be seen in iOS, too. For iOS 5 and above, you can get the SBSettings’ controls for the swipe-down Notification Center. Before you could do this, you had to swipe left or right to be able to open the toggles.

How to Install Apps when you Can’t use the Google Play Store

Whenever they want to install a cool app on their Android phone people can use the Google Play Store. This is the safest and easiest way to do it, but what happens when the application cannot be found in the store? This situation is not just hypothetical, because sometimes the app is not available in Google’s offer. Also, you might need an APK from other sources (for example, Fortnite for Android).

Sideloading can help you download almost any app which can’t be found in Google Play

Smartphone users become very frustrated when they need an app and can’t find it in the official store. This is the main reason which led to the creation of sideloading. This process is useful especially when you want to download games from the developer’s official website.

It looks like this will be the general trend in the future, because many companies have gone to allowing players to buy their games directly from the official website. In this way, you have the game right on your computer or Android device whereas, without sideloading, you couldn’t play it. To be more precise, we will mention Fortnite for Android as an example.

In order to perform sideloading, you will have to set up your device. In general, the settings can be found in the Security & privacy Menu or in the part dedicated to Apps. If you are using Android Oreo, you will need to do some simple operations:

  • Enter the Settings section;
  • Look for the line where it says ”install from unknown apps” or ”More”, in case the first category is not available;
  • After this step, you will reach a list of apps and you’ll have to select your browser, tap it and choose the ”Allow from this source” category.

If you are using a HTC phone or other devices, the sideloading can be performed through the following process:

  • Go to Settings;
  • Select the Apps category and then Configure Apps;
  • Scroll and find Advanced options or the Special Apps menu, then tap the button;
  • Go to the bottom of Special Apps and you’ll find the ‘install unknown apps’ option;
  • After you find your browser (for example, Chrome), select it and then tap on ”Allow from this source” button.

An easier way to get to the final result is to quit looking through the Settings and use the Search options. Here you can type in the ”Unknown” category and find what you are looking for sooner.

Once you check the ”Allow from this source” button, you’ll have the possibility to install the app files recently downloaded from your default browser. You can disable this feature after you install the APKs you want. In order to do this, you have to go back into the Settings menu.

How to download and install an APK through sideloading

So far, you’ve made an impression concerning sideloading and you know that the place from where you download the APK is very important. There are a few websites where you can get them from, but it’s best if you use an anti-virus to scan them and make sure that you don’t bring any malware to your phone.

How to sideload an app from a PC

If you happen to face any problem when you try to download an app on your Android phone, you can get it on your PC. After the download is complete, all you have to do is connect the PC and smartphone trough cable and select the Transfer Files option. Once you complete this process, the APK is copied into your phone.

Whichever option you choose, make sure that all your online operations follow safety and security policy. Always protect your device and make sure that all the apps you use are virus-free.

Samsung Teases a New and Mysterious Smartphone

Samsung is working hard on its Galaxy S10 flagship as the device is said to bring the best that current technology has to offer in order to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Galaxy line.

Several rumors note that the smartphone will offer top-of-the-line features among which we can count a display with no bezels, Qualcomm’s impressive in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, a triple camera system on the back and the speedy 5G standard. It looks like the perfect smartphone but it seems that the Korean giant has another ace up its sleeve, as it recently teased what may be the elusive flexible smartphone that has been in development for quite a while.

The company has previously hinted that it may announce the flexible Samsung Galaxy F in November and what appears to be an intended ‘’leak’, which surfaced during Apple’s recent tech conference, led several sources to believe that the smartphone will be officially unveiled in a few days.

A trademark has been filled in a rather public manner and it implies the existence of a ‘’Samsung Infinity-V’’ display. The ‘’Infinity’’ moniker has been used by Samsung only for those devices that have little no bezels, like the Galaxy S8 and S9.  This leads analysts to believe that Samsung may soon launch a revolutionary smartphone that won’t feature bezels at all, maximizing the screen real-estate while maintaining comfortable proportions in order for the device to fit inside your pocket.

Another covert hint is that the supposed reveal even for the device has been named ‘’the crossroads between the present and the future’’ which is clear hint that Samsung is preparing to announce a futuristic device. In an animated video teaser we can observe a V that unfolds, which can also be interpreted as a clue that leads us to a flexible device.

What is true and what is not remains to be seen in the following weeks.
