We do have an in-built keyboard trackpad feature in iOS but, let’s admit, most of us are not the fans of the way the feature works. Enter the amazing Marker tweak for jailbroken iOS devices. The Marker tweak, created by iOS developer MiRO, allows you to effortlessly move the cursor around and select text on your jailbroken iOS device.

The Marker jailbreak tweak allows you to select the required text swiftly by simply doing a left/right swipe from your fingers. You can utilize the iOS stock feature of Slide To Type as well with this amazing tweak. Of course, there are similar tweaks, but unlike Marker, they are not compatible with iOS 14.
