Pokémon Go 0.37.0 Blocks Rooted Devices




Pokémon Go version 0.37.0 is a solid update with the Buddy System added in. But it is not all good news as rooted Android devices (and jailbroken iOS devices) are now blocked from loading the game.

For those that is unaware, cheating and spoofing your location is rather easy on a rooted Android device. However, I could imagine that a large portion of the people that would be blocked from the game does not cheat but will be blocked nonetheless.

It is unclear how long version 0.35.0 will still work with rooted devices, but sooner or later Niantic will block trainers running pre 0.37.0 from loading the game.

If a rooted Android device tries to load the latest version of Pokémon Go, the following welcome screen will be displayed.
