SwipeBack is a new tweak for jailbroken iPhones that allows you to elegantly navigate back through your menus by swiping your finger across your screen, rather than tapping on the buttons at the top of the display. It’s currently still in beta, but it works well and you can get your hands on it now.

SwipeBack comes from developer Ryan Petrich, who is famous for all sorts of hugely popular tweaks like Belfry, ContactPrivacy, RetinaPad, and more. Here’s a video of the tweak in action from our friends over at iDB:

To install SwipeBack, you’ll need to add Ryan Petrich’s beta repo (https://rpetri.ch/repo/) to your sources. Because it’s still in beta, you won’t find it anywhere else.
