Pokémon GO features a Augmented Reality (AR) mode. for a better gaming experience. AR mode captures the real-life scene through your camera and places a Pokémon on the screen. While seeing a Pokémon on the sidewalk in front of your house is nice, AR mode isn’t for everyone.
While AR mode can offer you an immersive gaming experience, it also has its downsides. AR mode drains your phone’s battery quickly, and low-end devices may lag or crash. So, if you are facing such problems, we have the correct solution.
How to disable AR mode in Pokémon GO
There are several ways to disable AR mode from the game. They are mentioned and explained below:
1. Disable AR mode from the capture screen
It’s the easiest way to turn off AR mode. On the capture screen, you can see a button at the top right of the screen before launching the PokéBall. You can activate or deactivate the AR mode by pressing the button.
To understand if the mode is on or off, you can check the direction of the toggle. If it’s on the left side, it’s off, and being on the right side means it’s off. You can also figure it out by looking at the screen, and if AR mode is on, it will show you a real-life screen, while turning it off will show a green game background.
2. Disable AR mode from Settings
Disabling AR mode from the capture screen will only disable AR mode at that time. But if you want to turn off the AR mode completely, you have to do it from the settings. The simple options are written below:
- press the Poké Ball icon on the app home screen
- Click the settings icon at the top right of the screen
- Uncheck the AR + button. You can turn it back on by checking the AR + button.
So, if you’re having trouble with your device for AR + or you’re having accuracy issues due to AR mode, turn it off by following these simple ways and keep catching your favorite Pokémon.
