My bank locked me out due to it being "Jailbroken" - xclouded1 - Aug 10, 2025
So I updated my iPhone last night, and now it says my device is jailbroken, funny, I didn't think new iphone updates had any jailbreaks at all, seriously the danger and limitations banks can oppose onto you is quite frankly, disgusting.
I've never even googled jailbreaking or anything, and they block my banking app? tf?
Has this happened to anyone here?

You're not actually locked out if your bank. It's probably a bug. Use the web portal until the developer patches it.
Yeah, I feel ya. Banks go to extreme lengths to defend against malware.

Cheers, just updated my app to the Beta 5 and now my bank is working, regardless though, still scary what they can do

Glad this was sorted! Getting locked out of your bank can be scary

Sounds like more of a safety protocol, then a restriction they're purposely imposing on you. Glad to see you were able to get everything straightened out.
While some of these features can be annoying, it is a bank.. at least you know they're putting their best foot forward, in an attempt to protect your assets.

This was the message I got from my bank

Probably the banking app detected something suspicious. Might be a wrong flag from it.
You'll have to try to talk to Bank or maybe check if anything's off with your phone.

All fixed mate, just needed to update to the Beta 5 (which is strange since it's the newest Apple update)

I'll be honest, been so long since I knew my ID, since the banking apps here are just stupidly annoying

In a couple of years you'll have to open the app, add a 4digit pass, go to your email, add the email code, then go to your authenticator, add the 6-digits xD

This followed by Iris ID, as well as fingerprint and showing your birth certificate with the camera 🤣

Glad that it's fixed. But yes it's strange that it required beta update.

I'm on the developer platform, and I updated it to Beta 4 and it stopped working, but Beta 5 fixed it? Quite strange yeah
