Pokemon Go: Lag / Freezing Issues, Niantic Fix Update

BY Marcus Kade • 5 years AGO • 2 MIN READ

At the beginning of its introduction in 2016, Niantic’s AR mobile game Pokémon GO gained enormous success in a short span of time. However, it appears that Niantic isn’t doing a stellar job as it once did with looking after Pokémon GO and its dedicated players. Many trainers have been complaining about lags, freezes, and a slew of bugs in the game for quite some time now. So let’s talk about how to fix these issues!

Lag, Freezes, Bugs

Following a recent update, a huge number of people citing lags at specific times in the game has risen significantly. All of these issues have been noted by Niantic, and the company’s engineering team has begun examining them, promising to resolve them as soon as possible.

Trainers may experience substantial lag and frame rate drops, and the display may lock at occasions even when Pokemon GO is running in the background, according to Niantic’s latest Pokemon GO Known Issues post. CLICK HERE to check Niantic’s latest bug fix report.
