The popular jailbreak app, biteSMS, has just received an update. However, if jailbreakers were hoping for a Facebook Chat Heads-like feature to launch with the updated application, as previously anticipated, then disappointment is unfortunately on the horizon.
Instead, the “Text Heads” feature announced yesterday appears rather to be a “Quick Compose Widget,” which allows users to compose new messages from within Notification Center. Though the widget does display contact profile images (as pictured above), it isn’t quite the iOS-wide Chat Heads feature we got excited about in our previous article.
As outlined in the change log for biteSMS 7.6 beta 1:
NEW: Quick Compose Widget. Just a simple convenient way to launch a Quick Compose with a favorite contact (managed via Phone > Favorites). It’s a Notification Center Widget (managed via Apple > Settings > Notifications > Quick Compose Widget).
In order to download the beta update for biteSMS, be sure to add the biteSMS beta repository to your Cydia application. The repository’s address is: http://cydia.bitesms.com.
Are you impressed with the new Quick Compose Widget?
