Probably if you have been an iPhone user for a long time, you have already discovered that there are things that you can only do with jailbreak. Obviously, we try to make many of our tricks and tutorials also for those users who have their phone from the factory, without unlocking it, but sometimes we have to think about those who have taken the trouble to carry out the process to get more out of it. your device. And this is the case of the trick that concerns us today in Actualidad iPhone, since in this case we are going to show you a curious way to remove numbers and letters from lock screen or passcode.

In case you prefer the written instructions, and although I think that in this case they are really easy to carry out, I tell you that to proceed to remove the numbers from the iPhone lock screen with the Cydia tweak SimplePasscodeButtonsYou just have to access the BigBoss repository through the iOS jailbreak application store and download it, and then configure it to your liking as I explain below.
Once you have installed SimplePasscodeButtons On your jailbroken iPhone, you will have to access the tweak's own settings tab to be able to tell it how you want your lock screen to look. The available options are only two. Either hide only the letters, or hide everything. In the following screenshot you can see an example:
