Pokemon Go not tracking steps (2023): Fixes & Workarounds
There isn’t a single solution that will enable the syncing of your steps in the game. Therefore, we will be going through some possible and effective workarounds that will help you to get through the synchronization failure.
1) Check your device’s sensors:
Make sure that your device possesses enough sensors to count the distance you walk and track your steps. If the sensors are not available, your device may not register your movement and hence your steps will not be tracked.
2) Allow the location permission:
Go to the app settings on your respective phone and allow the location feature to be always in the “On” state. This is necessary as whenever you open Pokemon Go, GPS will help to track your steps and the distance you cover while playing the game.
3) Use Google Fit or Apple Health:
Download and install Google Fit or Apple Health from the Play store or App Store. Now, see if these apps are recording your steps or not. If these apps are also not of any help, this means the problem is with your phone.
4) Disable the battery saving mode:
If your device is in battery-saving mode, turn it off as it may hinder the functioning of sensors and GPS. Apart from the general battery saving mode, make sure that the individual apps of Google Fit, Apple Fit, and Pokemon Go are not optimized for battery settings.
5) Toggle Adventure Sync On/Off:
Go inside the game settings and turn off the Adventure Sync option. After that, turn it on again. Now, restart the game and see if the progress syncs.
5) Re-install the game:
The last thing resort that you can take is reinstalling the game. It will rule out the possibility of any bug or glitch that might be causing the game to not update the progress of steps.
Apart from all these fixes, you can also wait for a few hours to let Pokemon Go update your stats. However, if things don’t work out, you can also contact the official support for further assistance.
