Apple originally introduced the humblenotificationbanner to replace the intrusive notification alert pop-up in iOS, but Apple has since made those notification banners much taller, making them more intrusive than they were initially designed to be.
Here to solve that problem is a newjailbreak tweakcalledTinyBannersby iOS developerdonbytyqi, which just as the name implies, makes iOS’ notification banners smaller such that they aren’t as intrusive.
TinyBanners is configurable, which means you can control how your notification banners look when they materialize. In the screenshot examples above, you’ll notice that the banners can be resized a multitude of ways such that they cover as little of the surrounding area as possible.
Once installed, TinyBanners adds a preference pane to the Settings app where you can configure the tweak to your liking:
Here, you can:
The developer includes a complementary “Test Banner” button at the top and bottom of the preference pane that you can use to view your changes in real-time. Moreover, you can use the Respring button at the bottom of the preference pane to ensure any changes you make to the settings are appended to your device.
If you’re ready to take control of your iPhone’s incoming notification banners and make them less intrusive, then you candownload TinyBanners from Cydia’s Packix repository for $1.99. TinyBanners is only compatible withjailbrokeniOS 12 devices; consequently, iOS 11 users can’t use the tweak.
