Adam Bell has released a new version of Message Box that enables system-wide Facebook Chat Heads in iOS 7. To use this version of the app you will need to install Paper.

The Facebook app has Chat Heads locked down to being in-app only, this'll help fix that! Take them out of the Facebook app and do whatever you'd like! A manual chat refresh timer is configurable in settings, though keep in mind a shorter delay will decrease battery life.

*Note* It's much easier if you have the Facebook Messenger app either logged-out, or uninstalled. That way you won't get confused with the push notifications.

What's New In This Version:
- Added support for Paper and iOS 7
- Rewritten from the ground up
- arm64 support
- Better preferences
- Way more stable, won't break Paper app after future updates
- Way less battery drain
- Dropped support for Facebook app (for now)

You can get Message Box (iOS 7) free from the Big Boss Cydia Repository.
