Frequently asked questions about Pokémon GO status
Is Pokémon GO down right now?
Check @NianticHelp on Twitter and Downdetector for community reports. Major events like Community Day can cause server stress.
Why can't I log in to Pokémon GO?
This usually indicates server maintenance or an outage. Check official status first, then try restarting the app and your device.
Why does Pokémon GO say 'GPS signal not found'?
GPS errors are usually local device issues, but during outages, location services may fail server-side. Check app permissions first.
Why aren't any Pokémon spawning?
During server degradation, spawns may fail to load. If other players report the same issue, it's likely a server problem.
Are raid lobbies affected by outages?
Yes, raid lobbies can fail to form, disconnect mid-raid, or reward errors can occur during server instability.
