Latest Jailbreak Tweak “Pull To Refresh Safari” Refreshes Web Browsing On The iPhone

Earlier in November, a jailbreak tweak in Cydia was released by the name of Pull To Refresh Mail, which is quite self explanatory as it brought the Twitter App like refresh functionality to the stock Mail app on the iPhone. Now, another jailbreak tweak has surfaced by the name of Pull To Refresh Safari, which brings this very functionality on the stock mobile browser on an iPhone, which is Safari.





Getting Pull To Refresh Safari is quite easy, as it can be easy installed through Cydia, and after it is installed, the user can launch the Safari browser normally, slide down the page until eventually the refresh dialogue appears, and as soon as the finger is released, the page refreshes normally as it would have done when the default refresh button would have been pressed.


The great thing about these tweaks is that the feel is very much integrated in the iPhone’s interface while simultaneously they modernize apps that haven’t changed much since they first debuted. Nevertheless, many won’t find Pull To Refresh Safari as an essential tweak, but it can not be denied that it does bring a new aspect to the otherwise old functionality of the browser.


The most important pre-requisite for this tweak is obviously a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch. There are no extra settings or app icons as this is just a small tweak, easily downloadable via Cydia and then its good to go.
