Pokémon Go users with jailbroken phones are furious after the game’s latest update has essentially blocked them from playing.
“This device, OS, or software is not compatible with Pokémon Go,” is the message that now greets those with jailbroken phones. Said users will have to revert to the game’s previous update to progress.
The changes are part of a massive update that brings buddy support to the game.
Users have taken to Reddit to voice their displeasure.
“I wouldn’t have had a problem with [the update booting jailbroken/rooted/unlocked phones] if they blocked rooted users from launch,” Redditor GnothiSeauton wrote.
“However, doing it 2 months into the [game]… after rooted users have invested time and money into the game, is completely unscrupulous.”
We’ll keep you posted.
Pokémon Go is available now on iOS and iPhone.
