Jailbreak Apps � iPhone Tweak Lets You Choose Contacts For iMessage Read Receipts

It is great to see when jailbreaks are made available how Cydia is suddenly refreshed and a list of brand new packages is made available. It is great to see that a number of developers are now taking an interest in enhancing Apple's native iMessaging service too. The brand new SelectiveReading tweak is one of the latest third party apps that tries to enhance the iMessaging service.

The name of this app which is only available to those with a jailbroken idevice pretty much gives away what it is intended for. In a native installation of iOS, the user simply has the option to enable or disable read receipts for sent iMessages. SelectiveReading changes this default functionality by giving the user the power to decide who gets read receipts. This tweak essentially hooks into the messaging of the system and implements a new �ask� feature relating to read recipts. SelectiveReading also adds a contact based override system that allows users to set the specific rules on a per contact basis.

If you want to have your read receipts turned off but still want a few select contacts to be informed when their message has been read then this tweak is perfect. SelectiveReading is available to download at just $0.99 from the Big Boss Repository and is compatible with iOS 5 and iOS 6.
