Pokemon GO: AR doesn't work - you can do that
The special feature of Pokemon GO is the AR mode. We'll show you where the causes are if virtual reality doesn't work.
AR mode does not work - causes and problems with Pokemon GO
- Augmented reality mode only works if your smartphone has a gyroscope sensor. To quickly and easily check whether you have installed a gyroscope, google your smartphone model with the addition "Gyroscope".
- Likewise, tablets are not optimized for Pokemon GO. As a result, when you play on a tablet, the feature may not be supported or Pokemon may appear slanted and incorrect.
- In addition, there are still a few bugs that the developers are emphatically working on. Therefore, certain software versions of your smartphone may be causing the problem.
Pokemon GO with AR mode - fix problems
- Unfortunately, there is no technical solution for the missing gyroscope. If your smartphone does not have a gyroscope, you have to switch to another device or play without AR mode.
- You may be able to fix software problems by updating your Android device or iPhone.
- You should also update the Pokemon GO app if you have used a pre-release version before the official release.
