Slack says my iPhone has been jailbreaked after latest update to 16.1.1

I tried to open Slack for a new message that came in and my company's message was that I couldn't use Slack on a phone that was jail-breaked. Also, the font of the time on the home page has changed (and not to my liking).

If you updated your 16.1.1 from the Apple servers in the normal way then your phone is not jailbroken.

However you may have a security app or VPN which makes them think it is jailbroken.

If the security apps are mandatory because of your employer then contact them, otherwise get rid of them, they are not necessary.
