How To Add Friends

• Head over your Add Friends tab and select “Add Friends from Contacts”.
• You may pick whether you like your friends to also find your profile using your mobile number.
• Let the game sync with your phone contact list.
• After this, you may now search and add new friends by tapping “Send Friend Request”.
• Alternatively, you may choose to invite them by selecting “Invite to play”.

It’s worth noting that the contact list’s accessibility and syncing authorizations could always be changed later in the game’s settings.

• We all know Pokémon GO is an outdoor game that requires you to step out and find new Pokémon and Pokéstops. Stepping out too much wasn’t an option during widespread lockdowns, hence Niantic introduced these bonuses. It helped players in achieving their objectives while at the same time, practicing social distancing.
• Obviously, fans all over the world are enraged over this move by Niantic and are criticizing it over the internet. The introduction of the bonus was a really good incentive and it benefitted everyone. Players benefited in obvious ways and Niantic benefitted by retaining the player base. The main issue is that pandemic isn’t over yet, so there was no need to end a mutually benefitting scheme.
