While there are times that I enjoy showingphoto(s)from my iPhone’s Camera Roll to the people around me, I always worry that someone might start swiping through the rest of my pictures if given a chance.
If you feel the same way, then you may want to take a look at a new freejailbreak tweakcalledDontSwipeby iOS developerSecondEight1, as it can lay your worries to rest.
Just as the name implies, DontSwipe prevents other people from swiping through the contents of your Camera Roll whenever you hand someone your phone to look at one of your photos. As it a bonus, it also:
DontSwipe works by integrating withActivator. As you look at a photograph in your Camera Roll, you can invoke your chosen Activator action, and the screen becomes locked on the current photograph.
When the tweak is enabled, you’ll notice a thin red border surrounding your entiredisplay, as shown above. The red border disappears when you invoke your selected Activator action for the second time to toggle the tweak off.
you may choose the Activator action that you want to use with DontSwipe fromSettings → Activatoror from the Activator app on yourHome screen. For our demo, we’ve assigned the tweak to double-tapping theStatus Bar, as this is easy to do from the Photos app:
Apart from choosing an Activator action, there are no other options to configure for DontSwipe. This dead-simple jailbreak tweak protects yourprivacyand potentially saves you a ton of embarrassment. With that in mind, it’s a win/win for almost anyone.
If you’re interested in trying DontSwipe, then you candownload it for free from Cydia’s Packix repository. The tweak works on alljailbrokeniOS 10and 11 devices and requires Ryan Petrich’s Activator extension to be used.
