As anyone playing Pokemon GO can attest, the game drains battery incredibly quickly. Prior to the most recent update, however, there was a battery saver mode made available for iOS users which helped with this issue. Whenever the app was open and the iPhone was held upside down or sideways, the screen would turn off. This feature has since been taken away for Apple’s device, but Niantic took to Facebook to assure users that the mode will be returning at some point in the immediate future.
If it only took several days to restore the battery saver feature just because it was spotty for some, it’s odd that the company would even bother to remove it in the first place. There must be some sort of method to Niantic’s madness, but Pokemon GO fans playing on their Apple devices can rest easy knowing that the issue will be rectified relatively soon. Although, admitting that the team is “fairly confident” that a fix is en route, rather than absolutely certain, isn’t particularly encouraging – but gamers will be waiting for the patch regardless.
While this update is surely anticipated by iOS users, future updates will bring with them even more changes to the game. In particular, one of the most anticipated is the addition of brand new Pocket Monsters, but there’s still no window on when gamers can expect that. In the meantime, addressing current issues is probably the best bet, though.
