iOS users can be broadly categorized into two categories. The first one is of those who prefer jailbreaking their device and the second who don’t. With each new iOS update the previous jailbreak tools becoming useless; the jailbreak community waits anxiously for new updates, tweaks and tools to be released by developers. One such tool, which hasn’t seen any updates since long is the ‘Activator’ tool.

With no updates coming in for the ‘Activator’ tool since long, jailbroken users had to rely on a third-party fork of the same. However, since the fork is unofficial and is a modded way to get functionality of Activator on iOS 11, the installation of the same is considered really risky. Seeing a modded version of Activator making rounds, the developer of the original tweak, Ryan Petrich, finally released an official update of Activator in beta form, compatible with iOS 11 coupled with Electra’s Substitute support.

The release of the official update for Activator made the jailbreak community rejoice in happiness as this is one of the most loved jailbreak tweaks. If you are not familiar with Activator then let us tell you that this jailbreak tweak provides a great functionality to the users to set custom actions on their iPhone/iPad based on custom gestures.

Gesture can be anything like swiping fingers left or right, moving one finger up and more. Based on different gestures you can set up different actions to be performed by your iOS device. Moreover, actions can be set specific to an application or home screen. So, when you will perform a specific gesture, inside an application, Activator will select the app-specific action that you have set up for the particular gesture. This unique functionality to divide the gestures based on their location, whether inside an application or on home screen, makes this jailbreak tweak highly useful as it gives us the convenience to perform most-used functions quickly with the help of custom gestures.
