Popular jailbreak tweak checkl0ck adds support for A10-A11 devices to use Face/Touch ID in iOS 16.0-16.1.2

If you have a phone jailbroken with iOS 16 thanks to Palara1n, you may be happy to know that you can use one of my favorite jailbreak tweaks, checkl0ck, to enable your own passcode or biometric authentication (like Touch ID or Face). id) user experience.

Just this weekend, checkl0ck received an update to version 1.5.0, which adds support for iOS 16.0-16.1.2, meaning that even devices with A10 and A11 chips on iOS 16 that couldn’t set a password using palera1n. finally able to do it..

Notably, iOS 16.2 and later is not supported because the developer cites an issue with the Substitute substitution injection and the iCloud daemon.

Other changes in checkl0ck v1.5.0 include the following:

• Fix crash in some apps
• Fixes an issue where the lock icon in the status bar was not displayed on Touch ID devices running iOS 15.
• We fixed an issue that prevented biometric authentication from working in some applications.

The checkl0ck tweak was originally released almost a year ago, and while it was originally intended for the checkra1n jailbreak, it has been ported pretty well for Palera1n jailbreak users on newer firmware versions.

Newfangled support for iOS 16.0-16.1.2 comes about two months after the developer rolled out initial support for iOS 15.
