How to Fix ‘GPS Signal Not Found’ in Pokemon GO

Last updated
Ever wandered around trying to catch that rare Pokemon only to be stopped by a pesky ‘GPS Signal Not Found’ message? You’re not alone. Let’s dive into why this happens and how you can fix it.
So, you’re playing Pokemon GO and suddenly, you can’t catch any Pokemon because your game says ‘GPS Signal Not Found’. What gives? Well, let’s find out and get you back to catching ’em all.
Quick Fixes for ‘GPS Signal Not Found’ in Pokemon GO
First things first, let’s tackle some quick fixes. Check if your phone’s location services are on. Pokemon GO needs to know where you are to show Pokemon around you. So, flip those services on if they’re not already.
Next, try to get a clear view of the sky. Buildings and heavy cloud cover can block GPS signals. Moving to a more open area can help the game find your location.
Getting More Technical
If those easy steps didn’t work, don’t worry. We have more tricks. Restarting your phone can refresh your connections, including GPS. It’s simple but surprisingly effective.
Another tip is to check for updates. Both your phone’s operating system and the Pokemon GO app itself release updates that can fix bugs, including those pesky GPS issues.
