iPhone screen turning off

This is happening to all iOS users with the latest update. There currently is no fix. Ironically, this issue was just corrected for Android users.

I don't know if this is the same for iphone, but when android had the same problem I just went in to the settings and set the screen to never turn off. It was a bit annoying because I had to remember to turn it on and off before and after playing, but there is a work around. But hopefully they fix it soon, so you don't have to do it all the time.

Didn't know about this until trying to catch my first ho-oh today, and it pretty much halved my odds, I had the "battery saver" option on my iPhone which meant auto lock was automatically set to only 30 seconds. Waiting for ho oh to come down or attack often took that long, and the screen would spontaneously lock as I was winding up to throw, causing the ball to drop

That being said, the fix is to shut off auto lock.

The problem is that you can't use battery saver meaning your battery will drain twice as fast

The good news is that you can keep the pogo app running in the background and use another app without having to wait for it to reload when you go back

The best thing I found was to change auto lock to 5 min and turn off low battery mode. It is super annoying.
