Ever wondered how you can catch Pokemons without having them pop up in your real-world surroundings? Let’s dive into how you can turn off AR mode in Pokemon GO.

Turning off the AR (Augmented Reality) mode in Pokemon GO can give you a break from chasing Pokemons around your neighborhood. Today, we’re answering the big question: How do you switch off AR mode in Pokemon GO?

Switching Off AR Mode in Pokemon GO

Turning off AR mode is simple. First, start an encounter with a Pokemon. Next, look for the ‘AR’ slider on the top right corner of your screen. Tap on it, and boom! AR mode is off, and you can catch Pokemons without moving around.

Why turn it off? Well, it makes catching Pokemons easier, as they remain centered on your screen, making it perfect for those times you’re sitting in one spot or want to save on battery life.
