Share Widget for iOS 7

With the release of iOS 6 Apple added a nice social widget to the notification center that allowed users to quickly share status updates on Twitter and Facebook. The widget gave a convenient way to social media users to publish updates to their accounts without launching the apps.

As Apple redesigned iOS with the release of iOS 7 notification center also received a revamped design. This resulted in removal of the social widget.

But now since iOS 7 has been jailbroken it is not hard for users to get their favorite missing features from iOS 6 back in iOS 7. The new Share Widget for iOS 7 tweak brings back the good old share widget making it more social.
