Pokémon Go: Users banned due to their Xiaomi terminal already have their accounts active again

Pokémon Go users who were banned because of a Xiaomi smartphone function can now access their accounts again.

For the past few weeks, a significant problem has arisen among users playing Pokémon Go on Xiaomi devices . One of the features of Xiaomi devices was being detected as a cheating system. This resulted in users with these devices being kicked and banned from Pokémon Go. Niantic investigated the issue and appears to have resolved it.

The problem seems to be in the Xiaomi Game Boost function. It seems that the game detected it as a cheating system and expelled users. Faced with this problem, Niantic and Xiaomi have worked to see what was happening and why users were excluded. Niantic acknowledges that banned users have not violated any regulations.

Niantic returns Pokémon Go accounts to those who have Xiaomi terminals

Those who were excluded from the game due to this error can now play again without major problems. Niantic has reactivated the accounts of these users and they continue to investigate the incident.

Although Niantic has not given an official statement, it seems that the company is already reactivating the accounts since last night. So whoever has a Xiaomi terminal can enjoy Pokémon Go again.

They've only released a message on their Twitter account , without providing any further details. What remains unknown is why the Game Boost feature caused users to be banned. Xiaomi hasn't provided much information either, although they claim their feature shouldn't cause this problem.

The foreseeable thing is that Niantic has generated some type of exception for users who use Xiaomi terminals. We will wait to know the origin of this problem that has unexpectedly left many users out. Remember that the game during the month of August generated a very significant increase in income.
