Activate Pokémon GO: AR function
If you activate Augmented Reality in Pokémon GO, the camera on your smartphone turns on. You can then catch the Pokémon that appear on the card against the backdrop of your filmed surroundings. That makes the game even more realistic. You can activate the AR feature with any wild Pokémon.
- To do this, tap a Pokémon that appears on your card to switch to capture mode.
- Then flip the switch at "AR" in the upper right corner.
- Pokémon GO then immediately switches to augmented reality mode.
- You can deactivate the feature in the same way.
