Check if you have 'Mock Locations' enabled in developer settings. Pokemon GO doesn't like fake GPS apps.

The most common reason is your GPS isn't enabled or isn't getting a good signal. Try turning it off and on again or go outside for better coverage!

Happens to me when I accidentally turn on battery saver mode - make sure that's not the case!

Honestly, sometimes the servers are just having a bad day. Wait a bit and try again later.

Could be an issue with your phone's location settings. Make sure you have high accuracy mode turned on.
