What is Novus?

Novus is a jailbreak tweak that significantly enhances the aesthetic of the stock Phone app on iPhone by giving it a fresh and modern look that seamlessly blends in with the latest version of iOS 16. The resulting design is so well-executed that Apple will sooner or later adopt it.

Novus tweak immediately stands out with its elimination of the outdated tab-based interface and replacement with a cohesive and intuitive user interface. All elements are easily accessible at a glance, with your recent calls list in the center, keypad, voicemail, and favorite contacts at the top, and a search bar at the bottom that can reveal your full contact list.

The navigation bar features two distinct buttons – one for accessing voicemails and another for summoning the keypad. This streamlined design makes using the Phone app more efficient and user-friendly. Contact list also supports the iCloud Groups feature of the Contacts app on Apple devices that allows you to organize their contacts into specific groups.

One of the standout features of Novus tweak is its full support for 3D Touch and Haptic Touch on supported options, such as contacts. When you use this option, the tweak will suggest various methods of communication based on the contact's saved information, such as calling, FaceTiming, or texting/iMessaging.
