Rooted Device
If you’re unable to match make on Android with a message about your device being rooted, an unlocked bootloader, the Android Debug Bridge, or has failed the SafetyNet check this is because your device meets at least one of the above criteria. If this happens, your device will not be able to play Fortnite.
As stated in the message, any attempts to bypass this check may result in an account ban. We understand this is disappointing but Epic Games Player Support is unable to remove this message or ban from your device.
Developer options: USB debugging
Epic doesn’t allow devices to have Developer Options turned on while playing Fortnite on Android. On most Android devices, you can turn off this setting with the following process:
- Navigate to Settings.
- Scroll to Developer Options.
- Toggle Developer Options OFF.
