in this video you'll be learning how to quickly reply from text messages
in any app so for example if i get a text message
it'll pop up and you'll see I can actually quick reply right
there in any app on lock screen so i can say hey
and if I tap send it will send a message another cool feature of this pop-up is that
you can actually pull down your recent conversations
and read them so you know what you guys been saying
so if I pull that back up and you can actually add more buttons and have
multiple buttons down here and scroll through them to do different things like delete
the message
or mark it as not read or do later or call a person right there which is kind of nice
if I hit send I actually have an opportunity to stop it so I don't you know
if we do a misspelling and
you wanna stop the message you're gonna stop it and if i go ahead and send it
it will send right there and go away and then you send a message
so this app comes with a companion app and it's called BiteSMS and this is a
replacement app
for your regular texting app if you want to continue using your regular texting app
that still works just fine but this is another one that you can use
it's much better and has much more features so one thing you know about this
application is that you can actually see the pictures right there in the application
for your contacts which is kinda neat
if you go into the person and you type in a message
you can stop it too so if you'd stop
it will stop sending it so when you misspell it you can stop and it won't send a message
there's a lot more features than that and I'll teach you how to set them up in a few minutes on this video
so if you like to learn how to install this and customize it and learn more of the features keep on watching
hi this is Luke from GuideMyJailbreak.com
today I'm gonna be showing you how to install and use an application called BiteSMS
this might be a pretty long app review because it is a very very fully featured app
so to get started go ahead and tap Cydia
tap Search
type in BiteSMS tap Search
it should be the first one so go ahead and tap on it this is a paid application but don't worry
it is a free trial
so go ahead and tap install and confirm
one thing you know is that the free trial does have advertisements
so when you have your trial period you have arrow headings in the app
you can get rid of those at anytime by just buying the app go ahead and restart SpringBoard
that's basically restarting your device but it's much quicker
after your phone restarts go ahead and slide to unlock
you'll automatically see a new app called BiteSMS
you might have a pink icon I changed it to the green icon
okay so let's get right into the core functionality that everyone's favorite functionality - if somebody texts you
instead of having to go into the SMS app you'll automatically be able to just tap the reply button
and type the reply right there so this is automatic you dont have to do anything and for this to work
it just works so there's a bunch of customization you can do
but this is the core functionality that you don't have to do anything to make it work so you just tap
send and it will send away and you don't have to do anything
so you go ahead and tap on BiteSMS you'll probably see a pop-up about a free trial
you can either continue the free trial or you can purchase it
you'll see an ad at the bottom and this is because of the free trial mode
so basically this app is a replacement of your fully-fledged text messaging app
you can do all the same things you can delete you can go into a text message
you can reply, call, facetime, add contact
and you can even send MMSes and everything else
so if you go ahead and click that gear you'll see a big long list of settings you can change
so one of everyone's favorite is you can hit show contact pics
and turn this on both conversation list and conversation and then
when you go back to your messaging you'll see pictures of everyone that you text message
like that if you go ahead and go back to that gear
and scroll down if you go to all timestamps instead of having you know a time for
whatever time they send the text message to every couple hours or however Apple does it
it shows it for every message so that's kind of helpful
you can turn on autocorrect on and off
another cool feature is that you can delay sending so say you make mistakes in your iPhone
everyone does they make mistakes they send the wrong message and it's really annoying
you actually delay the message for one second or 1.5 seconds or however long you want to
so i'll give you example of what that looks like so if I go and send a message
let's say I send a message to myself if you tap send
it'll turn into a stop button and you can stop it and stop it or
misspelled word
let's go back to the gear you can hide certain contacts
you can turn off the graphical smileys I don't like having a graphical smiley
so you can turn this off
you gonna have a passcode for your SMS if you wanted to
you can do a signature and orientation you can choose
if you want it to rotate or not another great feature is retry on failed
so let's say you don't have service coz your AT&T and you want to send a message
and it doesn't send you can actually make it retry automatically so if I set that to 3
you can see that it will retry after 1 minute, 2 minutes & four minutes
so that's kind of a nice feature quick list & quick compose I'll go over them in a few seconds
but let's go ahead and tap on quick reply you can choose a bunch of an options
to show during a call so if you don't want it to pop up during the call you can turn that off
show MMS means that if you have picture messages it will show on the quick reply
and that quick reply is that pop up that comes up when you're not in the app
you can on that if you reply to
you can scroll down and change the text size and that last thing is configure buttons
so if somebody text you & you have a bunch of buttons at the bottom and you can scroll through them which is kinda neat
and you can actually choose what buttons show there I don't really like having a pop up there
I don't really use the templates feature or the Skype feature
FaceTime Forward
you can choose whichever buttons you want on there you can actually hit the edit
button and reorder the buttons as well
if you tap on lock screen this is basically whenever your phone is locked
on the clock
you can choose some extra options so you can
for privacy sake if you don't know wanna show their name you can just turn off the name
and if you want to not show the content and you'll have to click the show button
to show the content and then you can click reply and you can reply the message
then you can also do previous message and this is the feature I didn't show you
and it won't give you a pull down to see recent messages so I will turn it on and
I'll show you what that looks like
so if you get a text message you can actually press this little white pull down menu and
you can actually see recent conversation
with that person which is kinda nice you can either tap it and it will go away or
you can tap on it will come down or you can actually just pull it down
halfway and scroll through if you want to just to see the message that they sent you
last time it' s kind of helpful
so these buttons that's just customized you can flip through them like this
and whichever buttons you chose to put on there will be there so if I go ahead and close
this message and go back to BiteSMS and tap Settings
quick compose is one of my favorite features of this app because
if you go ahead and close out of BiteSMS so if you
click the volume button and then tap that pop up
it will actually pop up with a message form that you can actually send a message right there in any app
in anywhere so if I type you know myself
and I send a message I can send a message that quickly
or you just hit call and it will call them right there so if I hit Send
then it will send a message so if I go to BiteSMS
okay so let's just finish off this video with a few more features if you go ahead and click on
lock screen mode and then features there's a couple more features that I just wanna outline
so if you turn pocket protection on basically
it will not allow you to call somebody so you wont accidentally call somebody
or reply to them from your pocket so I'll show you an example of what that is right now
this is only on lock screen so if you turn off your phone to go to the lock screen
you'll see that the call and open button are both grayed out
to make sure that you can't accidentally somebody i can tap reply right there and
actually reply the message
and then I can call or open a text message right there so it's kind of protection against
you know from you accidentally calling somebody in your pocket if you didn't
feel the text message or you can't get to it
it will protect against that so if I go ahead and close out of that
and I slide to unlock and go back to the Settings Dim When Done
your screen will automatically turn off on the Lock Screen
whenever you send that text message I really like this feature. I'm featuring this on
ill show you another example
so if I turn off my phone again
you'll see that I get another text message if I tap reply
and then I type something as soon as I click that
send button and the delay is done then it will automatically turn off the screen
so you don't have to do it yourself its kind of a nice feature so you're using your phone a little bit more efficient
so if I turn it back on to purchase that application go ahead and scroll down
until you find Buy
I've already purchased it but for you, you'll gonna need to purchase if you wanna get rid of the ad
so scroll down and tap on that 99 full license
type in your phone number tap Confirm
tap Next and then check out whether PayPal or Visa or MasterCard and that will pay for
the application when that's done it all just give you a popup saying
that you've fully registered it and you'll be done
so go back and you'll see that there's no ad anymore so I hope you found this video helpful
