Have you been facing difficulties with your Pokemon Go anytime recently? Even if you have been lucky enough not having faced them yet, there are chances that you might.
But rest assured, it is not your device that is faulty, it’s an in-game glitch caused due to Niantic’s servers frying out, and is pretty common with its other games as well. After all, handling data of millions of users along with individual GPS targeting is going to take a heavy toll on the servers inevitably. So what can you do to fix them?
