The update 0.125.1 in Pokémon GO is being slowly rolled out. Dataminers have already found information about the fitness feature “Adventure Sync” in the code. However, the changes are not live yet.
The new update is being rolled out gradually and should be available to all players in the coming days.
Much about Adventure Sync: In the new update, much revolves around the new fitness feature Adventure Sync, which Niantic announced a few days ago. We will show you what was in the code.
This is what the new Adventure Sync can do
The Adventure Sync can do five essential things. These are currently being tested and should soon be available to players.
Measuring distance traveled
Measuring distance traveled in a wheelchair
Counting wheelchair push movements
Counting calories burned while walking
Counting the time spent on the go
Only in cooperation with other apps: Anyone who wants to use the fitness feature for Pokémon GO also needs another app. Pokémon GO cooperates with the apps HealthKit and Google Fit. Adventure Sync does not work with any other app.
New icons: Along with the fitness feature, several new symbols will be added to Pokémon GO. These are directly related to the new feature.
Hourly Measurements
The new fitness function works with hourly data. It retrieves new values every hour and evaluates them. The function also accesses the most recently retrieved data. It seems to be difficult to trick the system and cheat for bonuses.
Background mode for Pokémon GO: Together with the fitness feature, Pokémon GO will receive a background mode. You do not need to have the app open, and it still evaluates new values in the background.
Connection with smart watch possible: The code also contains several parts that deal with smart watch services. It will likely also be possible to connect your smart watch with Pokémon GO and use the fitness feature through it.
The code also contained parts that deal with daily and weekly tasks. Players will probably have to achieve certain fitness goals each day or week to receive certain bonuses.
First only in the code: It must be emphasized that the listed features were first found only in the code. They may be activated in the next update, but it could also take weeks. Trainers must therefore be patient and wait for Niantic to provide new information about Adventure Sync.
Mainly fitness feature in the code: Much more than new information about Adventure Sync was not found by the dataminers. Besides smaller bug fixes, not much new was found in the code.
