Ever since iPhone 5S was launched, jailbreak community felt like the Touch ID is not utilized to its full potential. Soon after the jailbreak of iPhone 5S, Virtual Home Cydia tweak was released. Basically, it eliminated the need of physically pressing the home button and used the Touch ID as a capacitive home button. Unfortunately, Virtual Home is not working for iOS 10 devices at the time of writing this article. We have found an alternative Cydia tweak called Touchr. Today I will review Touchr Cydia tweak and will give you free repo source for all of you guys who don’t want to pay a premium for it.

I highly recommend you to buy this tweak if you want to save the Home button of your iPhone. I have seen so many iPhones that are amazing in their condition but have broken Home button because of use. I know it sounds that iPhone has a low-quality home button but everything has a life span and so does the iPhone. Touchr is theCydia cydia tweak to convert your iPhone Touch ID into home button. I am saying this because this tweak keeps the original home button gestures of Single click and Double click.
