A brand new replace to Pokémon Go for iOS permits you to run the sport at larger body charges. With model 1.191.0’, the “advanced settings” part of the app now consists of an choice that reads “Unlock your device’s native refresh rate for higher FPS.”

I attempted it out on my iPhone 13 Pro and it makes an enormous distinction. Pokémon Go isn’t essentially the most visually difficult sport, after all, however there’s a number of scrolling and digicam motion, and the smoother contact response feels lots higher whenever you’re lining up a pokéball throw together with your finger.

Here’s how the characteristic seems within the sport’s menu:

Pokémon Go was beforehand locked to 30fps on iOS units. Many Android telephones are able to operating the sport at a better body fee, although in my expertise testing throughout a number of units the help will be hit or miss. Still, Pokémon Go usually ran higher on Android till now.

The new iOS characteristic isn’t restricted to the 13 Pro and Pro Max, that are the one iPhones with 120Hz “ProMotion” shows. I additionally tried it on my previous 8 Plus and it’s attainable to unlock the body fee there, too, although the growing older A11 processor doesn’t all the time sustain a gradual 60fps.

Niantic isn’t making an enormous deal out of the characteristic; it’s switched off by default and it isn’t talked about in model 1.191.0’s launch notes, past a imprecise point out of “various quality-of-life improvements.” It’s attainable that enabling it for all customers would trigger complaints about battery life, contemplating that Pokémon Go is already a reasonably heavy app in that regard. But if that’s not a priority for you, it’s value giving the choice a strive.
