In Pokémon GO there is a new feature. If you don’t like it, you can turn it off again.
What kind of feature is this? If you now start Pokémon GO in version 0.298.1, you will suddenly notice increased vibrations on supported smartphones. There is a haptic pulse during various actions in the game, such as:
- When tapping the ball
- Whenever the ball shakes while catching
- When charging moves in PvP
This feature is currently enabled by default when you play Pokémon GO. However, if you don’t want to use it, for example, to save battery life, you can also disable it.
How do I turn this off? To do this, you simply need to go to the “Settings” of Pokémon GO. There you will find directly at the top of the first tab under “Vibrate” the new switch “Haptic”.
If you turn off the switch there, the haptic feature will also be off.
More interesting settings: In general, you can activate or deactivate a few exciting features in the settings of Pokémon GO.
More helpful settings in Pokémon GO
Under “Advanced Settings,” for example, you can specify:
- Whether your game remembers the last thrown ball, so you can immediately use it again
- Whether you want to open gifts for stardust when your item bag is full
- The “Native Refresh Rate,” to make animations run smoother
- Or complete downloading of content, to reduce data usage on the go
Additionally, you will find the item “Update Game Data” here. This is usually used when you encounter errors or bugs in the game.
