Can Pokemon GO Track Steps When Closed?

Ever wondered if your steps count in Pokemon GO even when the app isn’t open? Let’s dive into this question and find out the magic behind it.

So, the big question is, can Pokemon GO keep track of your steps even when you’ve closed the app? This might seem like a dream for avid players wanting to hatch their eggs faster.

Short Answer: Yes, But There’s a Catch

Pokemon GO has a feature known as Adventure Sync that allows the game to count your steps even when the app is closed. This means you can still make progress on hatching eggs and earning rewards without having the game open all the time.

To make Adventure Sync work, you need to give Pokemon GO permission to access your location and health data. This lets the app use your phone’s built-in fitness tracking to count steps. Just remember to turn it on in the settings!
