Original story (published on June 16, 2021) follows:

Niantic’s augmented reality mobile game Pokémon GO took the world by storm in 2016 at the time of its launch gaining immense popularity in a short period of time. It was one of the first augmented reality mobile games.

At that time everyone was talking about Pokémon GO, and though Pokémon GO isn’t as popular as it was during that period, it still is hugely popular and has a number of loyal users that are hooked to it to this day.

Well, it looks like Niantic isn’t doing a fine job looking after Pokémon GO and its loyal users as it once used to.

For some time, users have been reporting facing lags, freezes and quite a number of bugs in the game.

The number of users reporting facing lags at particular moments in the game has grown quite high after a recent update.

Niantic has acknowledged all these issues and its engineering team has started investigating all these issues and has promised to resolve them soon.

We are hopeful that Niantic will soon resolve all the issues in an upcoming update, we will keep following the matter and keep you updated. You can also track all the developments in our dedicated tracker.
