    Question. How to completely remove any tweaks from interfering with snapchat.

    I want to keep using jailbreak and snapchat, but today I got temporarily banned on snapchat and want to make sure any files that would trigger snapchats jailbreak detection are removed so I can keep my jailbreak and use snapchat without restarting my phone every time I want to use it.

    I know I’m a little (a lot) late to the party, but I have a question about AirPods

    I first got AirPods when the 2nd generation first came out. I was so excited when I got them, they were everything I ever wished for. Perfect for soccer game warmups, for a quick listen, or when I’m on the train on the way to work. Now the problem was that they would be loose in my ear, more...
