The ban will only affect cheaters
Since the launch of Pokemon GO different tools have appeared to complement the game. Some were tolerated by Niantic but many others were dropped for facilitating, too much in the opinion of Niantic, the game.
Some of these appeared as apps in the App Store, but many others, due to how they work, did not pass the filter and were only available through app stores or by making jailbreak our device.
The ban people who use iSpoofer face is a permanent ban
One of these "tools" was iSpoofer iSpoofer allowed, through a series of settings in an app, Pokemon GO modified allowed to simulate the location of the players. In other words, you could play and advance in the game and on the map without leaving home thanks to a virtual joystick.
Obviously, in Niantic's opinion, this way of playing completely devitalizes the game. And not only that, but it's also not fair to the players who go out every day to hunt Pokemon and advance. And that is why they have decided to take measures to avoid the use of iSpoofer
The notice users receive
Specifically, the measures taken by Niantic have been to ban players from the game who falsified their location with this app.This measure, which seems quite appropriate, is not without controversy. And it is that he has been able to find out which users used the aforementioned app, not only with their own detectors, but also "sneaking" into the Discord channels that many users of the app iSpoofer used.
Other users, when the game detects that they have the iSpoofer app installed or jailbroken on their device, it informs them that the app cannot be used. So now you know. If you use the aforementioned app, you risk Niantic detecting you and banning your account permanently.
