[Release] Begonecia 1.0.0 – camera, mic and location kill switch, now with iOS 18 support
Hey everyone, Begonecia is out of beta. It's my rootless port of Nepeta's BegoneCIA: one Control Center toggle that cuts the camera, microphone and location for the whole system. Apps don't get a permission error, they just get nothing.
What's new in 1.0.0
- iOS 18 support. iOS 18 moved Siri's microphone to a new path, so Siri could still hear you with the toggle on. That's fixed: with Begonecia on, Siri hears nothing again.
- Works on iOS 15–18, arm64 and arm64e.
iOS 18+ users: try my CCSupport fix
On iOS 18 there's a bug where every tweak's Control Center module disappears after safe mode or a reboot, so you have to keep adding Begonecia's tile back. I fixed that in CCSupport and sent the fix to opa334. Until it's official, it's on my repo as "CCSupport (iOS 18 fix)". It only installs on iOS 18+ and is not tested on iOS 26. When opa334 releases an update, it replaces mine automatically.
Working on Final 1.0.1 Build with per app support etc or a disable in selected apps option please let me know if you find any bugs thank u
Get it
Repo: jond-ie.github.io (Sileo or Zebra)
Begonecia source: Jond-ie/begonecia
CCSupport fix: CCSupport#26
If anything puts you into safe mode, open Sileo and uninstall it, and let me know.
Got a tweak you want made or ported? Request it here: github.com/Jond-ie/repo/issues. And check out my other tweaks on the repo too, like Triggr.
AI helped with the code (Claude Code), all the testing and debugging was me on device.
