Jailbreak Only: Screenshot Dam - Keep iOS Screenshots Out Of Photo Stream

December 12, 2011
A new jailbreak tweak called "Screenshot Dam" can prevent your iOS device from uploading screenshots to iCloud's Photo Stream. It's great having the photos you shoot on an iPhone appear in Photo Stream on other iOS devices and Mac computers. However, if you regularly take screenshots on your iOS device (something that can be achieved by pressing the Home and Lock buttons together), your Photo Stream will be cluttered with a load of images of your iPhone's Home screen and various iOS app screens. Fortunately, Screenshot Dam (which is available for free in the Cydia Store) can prevent screenshots from being uploaded to Photo Stream. It's an incredibly handy tweak, and something Apple fans (and especially app reviewers!) will undoubtedly appreciate. Take a look at Screenshot Dam in the Cydia Store now, and feel free to post your thoughts on the jailbreak tweak in the comments. [via Redmond Pie]
