One of the main reasons we have cell phones, including such powerful PDAs we call smartphones, is to be able to make and receive phone calls even when we are away from home. Even though the iPhone has one of the best user interfaces for phone calls in the smartphone market today, many jailbreak tweaks can improve it.
In this roundup, we’ll take a closer look at many of the best jailbreak tweaks that can make using your iOS 14 device more fun to manage phone calls, whether they’re incoming or outgoing. So, if you are ready to expand the capabilities of your device, be sure to read on.
The Best Phone Call Jailbreak Tweaks for iOS 14
CallBar XS – $3.99
CallBar XS is a vastly improved calling experience for iPhone that provides more UI options when someone starts calling you or when you’re in the middle of a call.
While iOS 14 already sort of “stole”this feature, despite the fact that CallBar has been around for years, CallBar XS is highly customizable and offers many ways to use the incoming and ongoing phone call interfaces that don’t come with a native install. iOS.

Pocket protector – FREE
The iPhone was specifically designed to prevent back-to-back dialing, which was possible with older flip phones with physical dial pad buttons that could be pressed while sitting on the device. But dialing into the butt is somehow still relevant.
With PocketProtector jailbreak set up, your locked iPhone will take extra steps to make sure it’s not in your pocket before it starts making a phone call. This includes monitoring things like the proximity sensor and accelerometer to determine if it’s in a pocket or in a position that’s unlikely to be used for a phone call.

SpeakerFirst – FREE
Something annoys me about the way the iPhone works when you press the speaker button to use the speaker during a phone call. Instead of doing the obvious, it may display a popup with multiple options for where to route the audio, and it feels like a waste of time.
The SpeakerFirst jailbreak tweak clears up the confusion and simplifies the process of turning on the speakerphone during a call by prioritizing the iPhone’s speaker when you press the speaker button during a call. This is great because now you don’t have to waste time browsing through the cumbersome menu of Bluetooth speakers just to use the loudspeaker.

DamnDuration – FREE
Have you ever wondered how long others waited before you picked up the phone to answer them? If so, you might be interested in the DamnDuration jailbreak tweak.
This simple tweak adds a new section to the missed calls information shown in the Recent tab in the Phone app so you can see how long people have to wait when they call your iPhone before you finally answer.

Switch CallerID – FREE
You always have the option to hide your identity when you call others with your iPhone, either by using the infamous *67 trick or by turning off the “Show my caller ID”option in the Settings app. But what if you didn’t need to take these steps?
CallerID Toggle adds a very easy to use toggle button to the Control Center so you can hide or show your caller ID on demand when trying to make outgoing phone calls.

Yellow Pages – FREE
Why pay your carrier extra money every month for upgraded caller ID features to see who’s calling you when you don’t need to? The YellowPages jailbreak tweak can do that for you.
YellowPages uses the TrueCaller app’s database and integrates it right into your iPhone’s native incoming call interface so you can always tell who’s calling you, even if that person isn’t in your contact list.

Logify – FREE
Last on our list this week is a free jailbreak tweak called Logify that can spoof the call history of your iPhone’s native Phone app.
With it, you can give the impression that someone called you, even if in fact it is not. Similarly, you can make it look like you were trying to call someone else, even if you weren’t.
