Huge Pokemon Go update is live, fixes many bugs, testing new ‘Nearby’ changes

A ton of changes.

Niantic has just updated Pokemon Go for both iOS and Android taking the game to to 1.3.0/0.33.0 respectively.

The change list is super long and adds some new features, fixes some others and the big one – offers up a possible solution for the ‘nearby’ Pokemon feature.

Here’s the list direct from Niantic;

  • Added a dialog to remind Trainers that they should not play while traveling above a certain speed. Trainers must confirm they are not driving in order to continue playing.
  • Made improvements to the accuracy of a curveball throw
  • Fixed a bug that prevented ”Nice,” ”Great,” and “Excellent” Poké Ball throws from awarding the appropriate XP bonuses.
  • Fixed achievements showing incorrect Medal icons.
  • Enabled the ability for Trainers to change their nickname one time. Please choose your new nickname wisely.
  • Resolved issues with the battery saver mode on iOS and re-enabled the feature.
  • Added visuals of Team Leaders Candela, Blanche, and Spark.
  • We’re currently testing a variation of the “Nearby Pokémon” feature with a subset of users. During this period you may see some variation in the nearby Pokémon UI.
  • Minor text fixes

We’ve just download the game ourselves and are testing to see what’s changed. Let us know how it goes for you in the comments.
