    [SOLVED] How can I prevent games from detecting that I'm using an emulator?

    Hi, I've recently installed an emulator to play games with my friends that use mobile devices. But, when I opened PUBG, a message appeared, saying that since I'm using an emulator, I could only play with players who use an emulator. Is there a way to prevent this? Please help me!! Thanks, R.
