Although Niantic seems to be taking the demands of Pokémon GO in its stride , they actually work tirelessly to keep improving their functions and features. Following its latest update we discovered that the Pokémon GO Plus bracelet can now be configured to avoid being a nest of notifications that overwhelm the user. Something really useful if you only want to take advantage to add steps when it comes to getting candies from the Pokémon friend assigned, or to collect all thepokéstops and Pokémon from the environment.The process is really simple.
All you have to do to configure these notifications through the bracelet is to update Pokémon GO to its latest version on both the platform Android as in iOS To do this, simply visit the app stores Google Play Store and App Store and grab the latest version of the app as usual.
After that it is possible to enter the application and click on the pokéball button that opens the window with the different title menus . Here, the one we are interested in is marked with a cogwheel in the upper right corner. It is about Options, which has been expanded in its section Pokémon GO Plus
In this section, there is now a submenu for notifications from the bracelet In it there are two new options that allow activate or deactivate alarms when nearby Pokémon are found or when it comes to pokéstops Thus, all that remains is to choose the elements that you want depending on the type of item.
In total, you can configure notifications for Pokémon GO Plus in four different ways:
- All Active Notifications: This will alert the user to all Pokemon and PokeStopsas usual. It is the default option, and it will make the bracelet vibrate and shine before any event in this virtual reality.
- Pokémon Only: This is the most useful option when hunting. Only nearby Pokémon are alerted for capture, making sure each vibration is a new being.Pokémon GO Plus continues to distinguish between Pokémon already registered in the pokédex (green light) Pokémon (yellow light).
- Pokéstops only: in this case the bracelet is only activated to indicate that there are places to refuel objects nearby. It is the ideal option for those who want to fill their backpacks with pokéballs, pokéhuevos,Potions and other elements.
- No notifications: far from leaving the bracelet in disuse, this option is really useful to avoid constant notifications, but without stopping add steps to Pokémon incubators.
Along with these issues, Niantic has also improved the overall functionality of the band. Thanks to this, it will no longer be disconnected from the mobile when the player is competing in a Pokémon gym or when interacting with Pokémon manually through the mobile.A small bug that forced you to pair the wrist device over and over again to continue hunting Pokémon while on the go.
