If you want a more powerful App Switcher, then perhaps a good place to start is with a newjailbreak tweakcalledSwitcherControlsby iOS developerDGh0st.
Immediately reminiscent of the multi-center feature from a prior jailbreak tweak release known asAuxo 3, SwitcherControls combines both theApp SwitcherandControl Centerinterfaces into one, yielding what you see above.
The interface is laden with shortcuts; by default, the top gets you to your flashlight, timer, calculator, and camera, while the bottom consists of your toggles for Airplane Mode,Wi-Fi,Bluetooth,Do Not Disturb, and Rotation Lock. You can also swipe up on the grabber on the bottom section to reveal more controls, including Night Shift, AirPlay mirroring, and AirDrop receiving.
Whenever you’re playing music, the tweak will automatically display the Now Playing interface so you can control your playback:
Just as you would in the normal App Switcher, you may swipe up on application cards to force-quit apps; nothing has changed there. On the other hand, you will soon learn that all of the interface is completely customizable…
SwitcherControls adds a preferences pane to the Settings app where you’ll be able to configure the look and feel:
From the main preferences pane, you can toggle the tweak on or off and respring you save your changes. You can also access two different cells: Section Layout and Advanced Options.
From theSection Layoutpane, you can configure the following options:
Your options include:
From theAdvanced Optionspane, you can configure the following options:
That about wraps things up for the tweak’s configuration, and as you’re able to see, there’s an extensive list of options; enough to satisfy almost anyone.
SwitcherControls is probably one of my favorite App Switcher mods forjailbrokeniOS 10devices to date, and if you’re interested in giving it a try for yourself, it can be downloaded for $1.50 from Cydia’s BigBoss repository.
As a side note, don’t forget topair this tweak with Kazefor a more complete Auxo-like experience on iOS 10.
