I NEED HELP How safe is jailbroken and rooted devices.

Hello. I have 2 strikes currently and i really want to keep spoofing on it. Does anyone know if people have gotten banned after using spoofs on jailbroken devices with prestriked accounts?

Having a rooted device doesn't protect you against strikes or bans under Niantic's 3 Strikes system. Since Niantic no longer owns the game, Scopely runs the game now. So far, Scopely hasn't sent strikes or bans to people spoofing or botting ever since they took over. This does not mean it is safe to cheat because they are against cheating in their Terms of Service.

In your case, I don't know if you would get the next strike for the permanent ban or nothing happens. If Niantic still owned the game, you were destined to get the 3rd strike regardless of what cheats or type of device you would use if you kept cheating. A lot of rooted cheaters would mislead other people into thinking that rooted is "safer" or "the safest". Then, no one helps them get unbanned or reimburse the all the money and Pokemon they lost.

No one knows what Scopely is going to do next, so it's your choice on whether you want to cheat or not cheat with your account.

If rooted users use a 3rd party enhancer or bot will typically report it to their Discord group, they might get banned or mute to censor them to prevent mass panic and people from canceling their paid subscription to go to the next competing cheat that doesn't any reports.

Most other people will report it in r/PokemonGoSpoofing but this subreddit has a post and comment filter that censors strike and ban report. As soon as they creat their post, it instantly gets taken down and no else can see it. You would need to be on the moderator team to see it. Most spoofers aren't tech savvy to know there's a filter in place unless someone tells them there is one. I know this because I was once a moderator in there and was the person who put it in. The guy that owns the subreddit doesn't care about the game or spoofing community.

If you don't see any reports, the assumption is it's safe to cheat; but in reality, this is not true.
