Everyone in the jailbreak community is eagerly waiting for an iOS 10.2 jailbreak. Jailbreak allows you to install third-party applications from various sources such as Cydia. With these applications you can customize your iPhone the way you want. You can install tweaks that modify the behavior of iOS, which can significantly improve user experience of your device.
So if you have already performed the jailbreak, here are the best free Cydia tweaks of 2017.
These apps and tweaks are compatible with iOS 8, 9.3.3. However, compatibility with iOS 10.1 (and later versions) is still limited because a stable jailbreak is about to be released. In addition, some applications are still working with older firmware such as iOS 7, iOS 5 and iOS 4.
