Pokemon Go: always 3 footprints - what to do?

In Pokémon Go, many players have complained that only 3 footprints are shown to them. Regardless of whether they move closer to the Pokémon and can even see it - the app always shows only 3 footprints. The developers have now responded and decided to take a radical step.

Update: No more footprints in Pokémon Go

• After fierce criticism from thousands of players, the Pokémon developers reacted: They completely banished the footprint feature from the app.
• While you could previously estimate the distance of a Pokémon, this is no longer possible. You can only find out the direction using the green circle.
• It is still unclear whether the footprint feature will find an update to Pokémon Go in a few weeks.
