How to Return to Conversation List by Default in iOS 7 (Video)

Sometimes jailbreak tweak developers simply have an annoyance with iOS that they really just want to fix. One such example of this annoyance-fixing is the tweak we’re checking out today, called MessagePopper. Now, normally when you are texting someone using iOS 7 and you leave the messaging app, receive a new message from someone else, and return to the messaging app, it’ll automatically put you in the conversation with the original person instead of taking you to the person that just messaged you. This forces you to go back to the conversation list then tap on the new conversation from that new person to reply. Midly annoying, right? MessagePopper solves this by forcing iOS 7 to automatically open the conversation list instead of the conversation itself, every time. Problem sovled.

Best part of this tweak it’s free and has absolutely no configuration necessary. Set it, forget it, and enjoy. Here’s how to install it and save yourself those extra finger taps.

I. Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad

1. To do this procedure you must be jailbroken. If you aren’t, you can head to our How to Jailbreak iOS 7.0.6 (the latest version at the time of writing this). Once done with that procedure and you have Cydia installed, head back here to continue.
