As per several reports, Pokemon GO’s “Supported Devices” included Android 5 or above (rooted devices not supported), and iPhone 5s or above with iOS 10 or above. Niantic also confirmed that they would not support Jailbroken devices. Niantic is reportedly said to have been against the idea of allowing players to use their games on rooted or jailbroken devices. So, it can be considered that the company's motto is quite stern and it would not change in further times as well. For a long time, the organisation has been working against such wrongdoings so that they can stop cheaters from taking advantage.
