Jailbreak Tweak Enables System Wide Facebook Chat Heads for iPhone [Video]

Adam Bell, a 21 year old iOS developer, has successfully enabled system wide Facebook Chat Heads via a tweak for jailbroken iPhones, reports The Verge.
Developer Adam Bell has created a tweak for jailbroken iPhones that lets Chat Heads run "on top" of iOS just as they do on Android. "I just got jealous," Bell says. "I wanted them on iOS." It took the 21-year-old Computer Science major mere hours to create a working version of the hack, which manipulates the way iOS handles different views to keep your friends' faces always on top. The Verge has confirmed the hack's functionality on a jailbroken iPhone 5.
"The hardest part was getting this all to render on top of everything else," Bell said. "It doesn't seem very resource intensive. Only when you move the Chat Head is it actually doing anything."
Bell is still ironing out a few bugs but he hopes to have the tweak released free on Cydia and Github within a few days.
