Pokemon Go: This is how the controls work

You need to know this about getting around in Pokémon Go

If you have downloaded the "Pokémon Go" app for Android and iOS, some questions about control will arise. We answer the most important things below:

Your character moves by moving. This works via the app. You need to activate your GPS and your mobile data for this.
If you see rustling grass somewhere, you should move there, because there is usually a Pokémon hiding here.
Once a Pokémon appears on the card, you can tap it. It doesn't matter whether you're standing right next to the Pokémon or not. If it is visible on the map, you can touch it.
The situation is different with PokéStops and arenas. You must be in close proximity to do this before you can perform the actions.

To help you find your way around "Pokémon Go", you should note the following:

Tap the Poké Ball to view your items on the right and your Pokémon on the left. The shop is above and the Pokédex above. You can get tips and change the settings at the top right.
With a tap on your character you can see the success. Below you will also find medals that you can earn.

As a beginner, you often don't know how to control the game. So that you have no difficulties, you should take the following tips to heart:

If you want to catch a Pokémon, wipe the Poké Ball with a little swing on the Pokémon. You can also spin the ball and then throw it to get more experience points. A little practice is required here.
Once at the PokéStop you will find some items. But these are only visible when you turn the round sign. Then the items fall out and you can collect them.
You can fight in the arenas by tapping on the opposing Pokémon and swiping to the right or left. The special attack can be carried out with a tap on your own Pokémon.
