Apple believes that if your jailbreak your device, it gets less safe. But apparently, that’s not true – it can add moreย securityย to your device with better security apps in Cydia. With iCaughtU, a tweak for jailbroken iOS device only, you can set up your iPhone, iPad to send you a picture of whoever tries to unlock your device and enters the wrong password for a set amount of time. The tweak takes the picture using the front camera of the device and send it to your emailย address. The picture is also saved to the photo library.
In iCaughtU,ย you’ll have many features to increase the chance of getting your iPhone, iPad back in case it get stolen. You canย set the maximumย number of attempts before it takes the picture,ย receiveย location of the device back, or send text messages to the thief when he enter the wrong passcode.
Another interesting feature this tweak has is the ability control your device from home. For example, the tweak allows you to set up alarm, take pictures or turn off the device. The tweak also has a ย feature named FakeModeย which allows access to the device even if the password is enteredย incorrectly but disable some apps.
You can download iCaughtU Proย from Cydia’s BigBoss repo for $2.50. There also a free version, iCaughtU, with fewer features in Cydia.
