My thoughts on SilentMessenger
Because Facebook essentially forces a lot of these things down your throat, such as sending read and typing receipts to the people you message, and limiting the sizes and qualities of videos and photos that you send in the Messenger app, I think that this tweak will be useful for many users.
I’ve seen quite a fewjailbreak tweaksin my time of reviewing them that provide similar features to SilentMessenger, but with other tweaks, you get a combination of some, more, or different features. With that being said, it’s another tweak to add to the diverse list of choices to pick from if you’re looking to improve your privacy and functional features in these apps.
For the price of $1.50 from Cydia’s BigBoss repository, it’s a tweak that’s not only affordable, but will give you the privacy you’re looking for when you want to search Facebook without people knowing you’re online and without sharing analytics with Facebook themselves.
Wrapping up
SilentMessenger works with the latest versions of Facebook and Facebook Messenger and with iOS 7 through iOS 9 on all iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads and lets you experience more privacy in your favorite social networking apps. It’s a great way to keep yourself from being snooped on by other nosy people.
