Follow these steps to turn on the precise location on your iOS device. Apple uses WiFi mapping as well to help determine your approximate location.

2.Enable ‘Improve Location Accuracy’ in Settings for Android Devices

Google’s Location Services uses satellites to determine your location up to around 20 meters and can be inaccurate sometimes when you are underground or inside buildings.

The location of nearby WiFi networks helps to determine your location through WiFi mapping. Cell towers are used to determine your location within a few thousand meters. Follow these steps to turn on high accuracy mode on your device:

3.Restart Your Device and Re-login to Your Pokemon Account

Restart your iOS or Android device by holding the power button until the power options appear. You can also hold the power button for 10 seconds on most devices to force a restart.

A restart is recommended because shutting down creates a deep hibernation folder for a faster startup. Restarting completely clears the RAM, kills all processes, and also clears the processor cache.

You can log into Pokemon Go using a Facebook, Google, or Apple account. Log out of the account and log in again if you are experiencing problems with the game. You may need to remove the account from your device’s accounts settings.
