Doodle tweak lets you "draw" to unlock your iPhone

If you’ve ever had a jailbroken Android or iPhone with a LockDroid tweak, you probably like to unlock your iPhone by drawing, rather than typing in a passcode. Unfortunately, all the tweaks that allowed you to draw (or play the piano) are no longer compatible with modern versions of iOS, like iOS 16 or iOS 15. All except Doodle, which is a very interesting new feature.

Developers ETHN and MTAC have revived the hype with a new jailbreak tweak called Doodle.

Doodle lets you set a specific drawing as your passcode and lets you unlock your iPhone by “signing” with your fingertip, as close to the original drawing as possible. Doodle is specifically designed to support the latest jailbreaks on iOS 14, iOS 15, and iOS 16, including rootless jailbreaks like Dopamine and palera1n.

Once installed, a failed Touch ID or Face ID attempt will result in a drawing surface instead of the numeric keypad. It’s still nicer.

What sets Doodle apart from other tweaks is that the drawing is completely free. It’s much more complicated to “steal” than a PIN code for example. And it’s also much more elegant.

Once installed, Doodle adds a dedicated preference pane to the Settings app where you can configure a number of options to your liking, including tolerance levels for drawing recognition. These settings are very important, because there is no guarantee that you will be able to redo the same drawing every time. Even your own signature is often different from one document to another.

While waiting for Apple to integrate this possibility by default on iOS, why not with iOS 19 (iOS 18 beta will not offer this kind of development), the solution is called Doodle.
