Customize Lock Screen and CC media player with Vide Tweak

Suppose you listen to music on your iOS device often. In that case, you likely take advantage of the Lock screen’s and Control Center’s Now Playing interface to manage music playback while showing you an aesthetic music wave visualizer on both the Lock Screen and the Control Center. For most users, the native now playing interface is adequate. But you know that the native Now Playing interface takes up more than half of the iPhone’s Lock screen interface.  So, those who want a more advanced and new experience can try out the newly released jailbreak tweak called Vide by iOS developer xyaman.

A few days ago, we brought an article about this developer’s other jailbreak tweak, Visualizer. Visualizer adds a simple status bar audio visualization for iOS 14.

With Vide, you can shrink the widget that is currently playing on Lock Screen to a more acceptable size, and while you are there, there are also many options to customize the parameters to change the aesthetics of the widget.

In particular, when you’re playing a song with Vide tweak, a music visualizer appears on the Lock screen and Control Center as a wave on the now playing interface.

You’ll get a more compact aesthetic Now Playing interface that looks something like the one above. But after you install the Vide tweak, you can access the preference pane in the Settings app to configure the Lock Screen’s Now Playing widget as your liking.
