The Best iOS 14 Jailbreak Settings for Emergencies
Network Manager – $1.49
NetworkManager is a jailbreak tweak that allows the end user to have better control over which cellular radio they use to connect to the internet through their carrier.
With it, you can manually choose between connections such as 4G LTE, 3G and even 2G where they are still supported. It’s much more useful than being limited to choosing 5G or 4G LTE in the iPhone’s Settings app, and if for some reason your carrier’s network isn’t working properly on a certain type of radio, you can reconnect to a working one.

AdvancedBrightnessSlider – FREE
When you’re in a tight spot where it’s dark and your iPhone’s bright display can give away your location when you don’t want to be seen, the AdvancedBrightnessSlider tweak can help.
Basically, this setting allows you to take advantage of the Reduce White Point feature by turning it directly into the display brightness setting in the Control Center. This allows you to continue using your iPhone even in dark environments where an overly bright display can draw attention to you when you don’t want it, such as in emergencies.

Chusma – FREE
We live in strange times where it’s easier than ever to track down people with the very devices we use to communicate with each other, and some people use those powers for evil rather than good.
Chusma is a very handy jailbreak tweak that can alert you when your device is being tracked, possibly without your permission. Not only can this help alert you to a potential stalker, but knowing you’re being tracked can prevent tragedy before it happens.

Your iPhone comes with a dedicated Compass app, but while we’re talking about using jailbreak settings to improve your safety in emergencies, it becomes important to mention LiveSafari.
This jailbreak tweak turns the Safari app icon on the home screen into a functional north-pointing compass, allowing you to find your way if you ever get lost in unfamiliar territory.
