The battery saver mode is set to return to Pokémon GO – Niantic explains why it was removed.
“Pokémon GO” developer Niantic stays on the (Poké)ball and continues to provide players with information through social media. Many players criticized in recent weeks that Niantic was too “quiet” and communicated too little. The criticism has obviously been heard, as there was once again a post on the official “Pokémon GO” Facebook page. This time it is about the next countries where the game will be released, the battery saver mode on iOS, and legendary Pokémon that have been taken away from their owners again.
The “Pokémon GO” battery saver mode on iOS devices
After an update in the last few days, some trainers playing Pokémon GO on iOS devices wondered where the button for the battery saver mode is now. The answer was as simple as it was confusing: It has been removed from the game. Whether it would be reintroduced into the game was unclear at the time, but now there is new information from Niantic on this topic.
On the Pokémon GO Facebook page it says: We have heard your feedback regarding the removal of the battery saver mode on iOS devices loud and clear. We removed the feature because many players rated it as “buggy.” We are likely to release a “fix” in the coming days that will address the bugs with the feature.
iOS users will soon be able to use the battery saver mode again, enabling their smartphones to last longer on long adventures.
Upcoming releases and issues with legendary Pokémon
Next, Pokémon GO is set to be released in Central and South America according to a Facebook post. Also, during the Olympic Games in Rio, trainers, spectators, and players will be able to catch Pokémon.
Various videos and screenshots of players showing an Articuno in gyms circulated on the internet. With creative stories, players wanted to convince other trainers why they had this legendary Pokémon in their possession. The developers followed up on these stories and rumors, cracked down hard, and took the legendary Pokémon back from the trainers.
