How to Enable More Home Screen Settings in iOS 7 (Video)

You may not know it, but there are a lot of different options for your iPhone’s home screen aka Springboard. These settings aren’t available for you to change normally, but thanks to a developer on the Cydia app store there is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to view and alter these settings to your heart’s content. You can get lost in the amount of changes you can make, but for someone who want’s total control over how their iPhone is operating, it’s a godsend.

I. Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad

To do this procedure you must be jailbroken. If you aren’t, you can head to our Jailbreak How To’s section and pick the jailbreak for your version of iOS (currently at the time of writing this is 7.0.4). Once done with that procedure and you have Cydia installed, head back here to continue.

II. Install HiddenSettings7

1. Open Cydia.

2. Tap Search in the bottom right corner.

3. Type in HiddenSettings7.

4. Tap on HiddenSettings7 when it shows up.

5. Tap Install at the top right.

6. Tap Restart.

III. Tweak the New Home Screen Settings

1. Pull up from the bottom of the device to bring up the Control Center.

2. Tap on Springboard Settings.

3. Change options you want to alter from the different menus (i.e. Folders > Allow Nested Folders to enable the ability to put a folder inside a folder).
