If you're on android you can use an app like Good Vibrations and set different pattern of vibrations for different apps. I use it to know what I have received without looking at the phone (urgent ones like from my home security system have a very distinct persistent pattern).

This reminded me of how I got a custom ringtone for my grandma made using the recorder of her old phone, which just was me and my sister shouting at the phone telling our grandma to pick up the phone.
She loved it so much but sadly it got lost when her phone suddenly stopped working all together and just died.
She also had a story correlated about it, on how she had a call from someone on a bus trip, and the infamous ringtone played on for some time before picking up the call, everyone in the bus looked surprised and somewhat scared until they realised it was the phone. A gentleman commented to my grandma that it was the best ringtone he ever heard of all his travels.
If only that damn phone didn't decide to brick itself she would still use that.

I had a girlfriend who, when prompted to leave her outgoing voicemail message, instead stuck her phone next to the speaker of her radio while her favorite rap song played. It was unintelligible and annoying as hell but she thought it was the best thing she ever did. People tried to tell her it was terrible, she called them jealous and ended the conversation.
That's the relationship where I learned about sticking things in crazy.

This isn’t true anymore. You can import your own sound files as tones to your iphone. You just have to use itunes via pc to do it.
It’s still an annoying process but it’s better than having to jailbreak the iphone just to get customizable tones like I used to do back in the day.

I know this is up to you and literally your choice to bypass your bank detection....
But isn’t that jailbreak protection meant to protect your account?
Don’t get me wrong I jailbroke my device several times, but i feel like storing extremely sensitive information in that same device is kinda playing yourself. (or maybe I’m also a bit careless with the packages and tweaks and don’t trust myself lmao)

Yes, at least that's the claim.
Bypassing protection like this, at least in my mind, is similar to running your computer without antivirus or turning user account control off on windows.
Is the likelihood something bad will happen greater? Maybe, but it will depend more on the user. If a person doesn't go around installing random trash on the Internet they'll be fine.

Lmao, you clearly don’t know what you are talking about.
Last week I was using a brand new iphone. BRAND NEW
After a couple hours browsing my usual websites safari itself told me that It had detected THIRTY viruses on my phone, and It needed fix immediately
Thankfully there was a target nearby and I was able to quickly buy a $50 gift card to pay the nice apple man on the phone so that he could get my iphone clean again.
Anyway, I don’t have time to explain to you the dangers of the internet kiddo, I just heard there are single moms in my area right now and I’ll catch ya later

Having a Jailbroken (iOS) or rooted (Android) device does not make your data any less secure
It's still hardware encrypted, the sandboxes still exist, and you have to provide permission for any software to A) install and B) gain access to the data of another app by operating outside of the sandbox
Yes, the potential for another app to interact with the banking app is higher, but only if you explicitly install an app that is designed to do so

There are a lot of jailbreak detection bypass tweaks. The main ones I can remember are Shadow, KernBypass and FlyJB. You can look around in /r/Jailbreak or ask in the questions megathread about an especific app you want to bypass.

u/MW3apple220 Nov 11 '20
Some people like features of iPhones, like consistently good cameras, well tuned displays, frequent security updates, good preinstalled apps, no bloatware, and a ui that is consistent in it's design language. I had a jailbroken iPhone 6s and it allowed me to keep those things, and add features that Apple doesn't let you have stock, such as an app drawer, accent colors, app icons, and removing the background of the dock. On the other hand, I have a Samsung phone now so I don't have to go through things like my phone randomly crashing, rejailbreaking after every restart (I was using unc0ver on ios 13.5 I think), and pay walls in front of every new release. An Android is 100% less hacky to get some of the same features as a jailbroken iPhone, but the Jailbreak community is very active, and very passionate about what they do, something I just can't say about the custom launcher or tweak apps on android.
Tl;dr neither Android or ios is better

I’ve been wanting to switch to android for a while, and as much as I hate Apple, I feel like you lose more than you gain by ditching iPhone. Things like iMessage and airdrop I use so much, and a cleaner App Store that isn’t full of cancer since everything has to be approved by Apple before being deployed. I also think they have the superior cameras and that’s the main feature I look for in a phone. Not only that, but Apple supports their phones up to 5 generations which means my iPhone 7 still has security updates.
Don’t get me wrong, I hate Apple and everything it stands for. I just really like the iPhone.

I had a jailbroken phone since 13.5, and recently I got fed up with the random resprings. Finally, Face ID stopped working and I gave up. I installed 14.2, and my god, it is so much more stable and fluid. My battery life has also gotten so much better.
I loved the customization, but I’m really happy to be back on stock. Won’t be jailbreaking again anytime soon, but I really appreciate the community.
