Virtual Home Lets iPhone 5S Owners Use Touch ID Sensor As Home Button

After the release of untethered jailbreak for iOS 7, we reported that iFile 2 has arrived in Cydia for iOS 7. Now what we’ve come to know that one of the latest packages landed in Cydia is Virtual Home; an extensions that uses the iPhone 5S Touch ID sensor for more than just authentication and device unlocking.


iPhone 5S

Virtual Home is a new Cydia tweak that lets you use your Touch ID Sensor as a Home button. That means you can simply just tap/touch the Home button instead of pressing it to go Home and just hold the Home button for multitasking menu. Another interesting part of the Virtual Home tweak is that it allows you to unlock your phone using Touch ID without pressing the home button or sleep button first.

So what are you waiting for? Use Touch ID sensor as Home Button and give your home button a break. You can grab the Virtual Home Tweak from Cydia in the BigBoss Repo for free.
