What Are Jailbroken/Rooted Devices
Jailbreaking and rooting are two different terms for essentially the same process. Jailbreaking is generally performed on Apple iOS devices, such as the iPhone or iPad, while rooting is generally performed on Android devices. These processes allow the device owner to gain full access to the operating system, bypassing restrictions put in place by the manufacturer. Therefore, jailbroken and rooted devices have a vulnerable operating system.
What You Need to Do If You Have a Jailbroken/ Rooted Device
Your Humanity account will remain active with all your information intact. Here is how you can access it:
To use the mobile app, you will need a mobile device that hasn’t been jailbroken or rooted. Then download and install the app and log in with your existing credentials.
