What is the FileSwitcherX app?

FileSwitcherX is an open-source app that lets you do the very same as discussed above; removing or replacing the default system sounds of your iPhone without jailbreaking your iPhone.

This app was developed utilizing the MacDirtyCow exploit. MacDirtyCow exploit is present in iOS 14 – iOS 16.1.2, which was fixed in iOS 16.2 update. Therefore, the FileSwitcherX app doesn’t work on iOS 16.2 or later.

Similarly, there is another trending app that uses the MacDirtyCow exploit, which is the DynamicCow app, that lets you enable Dynamic Island feature on iOS 14 – iOS 16.1.2 along with other cool apps and tweaks such as Misaka Tweak Manager, the Cine Mate app to stream high-quality movies free online, other MacDirtyCow Tweaks, which you can explore from our No-Jailbreak Apps page.
