Owner and lord of social networks

All the social media They have made life much easier for us, they allow us to connect points, either between people, between companies or between people and companies, thanks to social networks (and instant messaging) we can maintain friendships from anywhere in the world, or communicate with relatives or beings dear ones wherever they are.

But you already know all that, you have been using social networks for years, you know what they can offer us and what not, and precisely because of that "no" is why I do this article, social networks or instant messaging applications establish their functions based on what «it's fair to everyone«, However, you can balance the scale in your favor and access functions that are not possible by default in order to fully master these services.

In this article I am going to show you how thanks to jailbreak, we can have all these networks under control, various tweaks and tricks that will facilitate and improve your experience of using these services.

1. Facebook, our online life

The vast majority of people who are reading this are registered on Facebook, the default app is limited in many ways and treats us as a product to exploit, for example, we have the one that makes us mandatory to install other apps such as « Facebook Messenger »to be able to chat, and that despite the fact that they themselves created that beautiful chat composed of bubbles that piled up on the sides of the screen ...

Well, to end the tyranny of Zuckerberg and add many useful functions we have available in Cydia for free «Facebook++»

This tweak allows us to adjust many things of the official app, such as being able to activate the integrated chat and thus not need to install more applications, we can also deactivate the automatic reproduction of videos (thanks to which your rate lasts 2 weeks less) or make them only auto-reproduce via WiFi, we can even activate a "full screen" mode that hides the navigation bars when scrolling through the time line.

On the other hand, it allows other even more interesting functions such as downloading videos, activating a lock code to access the app or a hidden mode so that people do not know that we have read their messages, in addition to many other options that you you can explore yourselves.

This tweak is in the form free on the BigBoss repo and it is maintained thanks to small ads that can be deactivated by paying a negligible amount to support the developer.

2. Instagram, frames in digital format.

An example of how an existing idea can be successful if it is rethought and redirected, Instagram is Flickr for people who do not want to complicate their lives, much simpler, more focused on the masses, a social network where photo frames pass from being around our house to decorating our digital wall.

Thanks to the same developer as the tweak above, we have «Instagram++«, A free tweak (same method, free ads, small payment to remove them) that allows, among other things, to save or copy the photos we are viewing or redesign the Time Line in a much simpler way, leaving only photos without descriptions or authors for that we see them all at a higher speed (being able to touch the one we want to expand details).

3. WhatsApp, the MSN of the XNUMXst century

You already know WhatsApp very well, from the hand of the developer of the 2 previous tweaks comes the tweak that already we have talked to you before in this blog, WhatsApp++ (or WhatsApp Plus) allows us to hide by deactivating the double blue check, the last connection, the "writing" or the second check received, to coloring the speech bubbles with personalized colors, including, of course, the possibility of setting a password to access the app.

Lately it has been said that WhatsApp has gone on to expel those who use WhatsApp Plus for life (the Android application) since it goes against the terms of use, however these expulsions have only been reported by Android users, since WhatsApp Plus originally was and is a modified client that is distributed separately from the client However, with WhatsApp ++ you are not installing any third-party client, this tweak is installed and applied on top of the official WhatsApp application, and can be uninstalled from Cydia without any problem at any time.

EYE, This does not mean that we are immune to this fury of WhatsApp by those who cheat, although for now no cases have been reported, it is possible that if they find out how to detect the use of this tool they will give us a wake-up call by expelling them (perhaps 24 hours , perhaps for life), if you know of someone who has been penalized you can count on us to echo the news.

4. Twitter, a little bird told me that ...

Twitter and its 140 characters, they are the ones that limit us the most, and not only because of the blissful 140 characters that can leave you with the word on the keyboard because it does not fit, but because with their token system they greatly limit the use of Third-party apps and other services that try to make use of this social network to grow, such as the case of Meerkat, a service that is turning off the tap to prevent what happened with Instagram from happening in its day.

For this application there are DO NOT tweak it that can help us; Calypso and Tweet Analytics, both free and without ads.

Calypso It enables certain settings such as the rotation of the springboard on the iPhone 6 but at the same time it also allows us, for example, to see tweets from people who have blocked or blocked us, all this without the other person knowing it and from the official app of course.

Twitter Analytics on the other hand it allows us to know more, once we tweet something we go blind, until someone does not retweet, fav or respond we do not even know if someone has read it, thanks to this tweak we can know how many people have read it, how many people have clicked on it or on the file / link that it contained and more interesting data to know the impact of our tweets.

5. Snapchat, not all ghosts are invisible

Be very careful with Snapchat, the idea behind this service is fantastic, to be able to share any photo or video or even text knowing that it will disappear and that the other person will not be able to save it. MAL. Done the law done the snare, Snapchat is the most insecure thing you can come across When it comes to sharing according to the type of files, it is very good to make a summary of your day based on photos and videos and therefore see that of your friends, but do not give them the confidence that they ask you to go more there, and if you are parents, be careful with the use that your children give it, since it could be said that it is even safer to send a photo through WhatsApp than through Snapchat.

Let me explain, by WhatsApp you know that the other person has that photo and at least the terrible compression applied by this app will decrease the quality of the photo, however in Snapchat, unlike what many may believe, the received photos can be saved without let the other person notice.

And for things like that I bring you «Phantom for Snapchat«, A free tweak that is maintained thanks to the ads and that allows you to do a lot of things that cannot officially be done, and all this from the official Snapchat application, as in WhatsApp ++, in this case you don't know either of users who have been expelled for their use, unlike the use of third-party apps with which not only do you risk being expelled, but as it once happened with one of these "SnapSave" thousands of photos were leaked sensitive devices that users had saved, a catastrophe without a doubt.

Phantom for Snapchat allows us to:

- See the photos and videos without time limit and as many times as we want

- Save photos and videos in a password-protected folder (and backed up in backups) or on our reel

- Launch the application directly in the Snaps received section

- See the stories of our friends without them knowing and save any photos or videos that they contain

- Keep the chat history of a conversation (by default they are deleted)

- Being able to view photos and videos without having to keep our finger on the screen

- Change the color, size or font of letters when writing on images

- Write without limit on images

- Deactivate the «User is typing» alert, change the tone of the alerts or even have it replaced by an icon in the status bar

- Many more that you can discover for yourself

As you can see, thanks to tweaks like these (or without them, since with jailbreak you can access the folder where Snapchat saves the snaps and fish the photos and videos received) Snapchat loses that false sense of security that sells us and makes us the life easier by not depending on a counter to see the snaps we receive.

All these tweaks require the official app downloaded to function and are maintained on the basis of advertisements, which can be deactivated by making a small and one-time payment to thank the developer for the work.

Conclusion:

Be very careful when publishing on social networks or sending content through messaging applications, once a file hits the internet, you lose control over it.

With all this (and a little head) you will have everything you need to have complete freedom over your networks, information about what you publish, tools to capture what others publish and even advantages over others, being able to stand out from them.

Now it only remains for you to put into practice what you have learned!
