How to update Pokemon Go on iOS?
To get started, consider the upgrade instructions for the Apple platform. These steps are suitable for both smartphones and tablets.
Check out the App Store. First you need to enable the automatic update of all installed applications. To do this, go to the program settings. You must be logged in with your Apple ID account in order for the service to find all of your installed utilities.
In the settings, check off the box that says about the automatic update of all applications. We recommend that you configure this so that applications and games only download when connected to a Wi-Fi access point. This will avoid the waste of mobile Internet traffic.
After the completed operations, all installed utilities will start downloading updates. If you only need an updated version of Pokemon Go, then cancel all other downloads. Now we will consider the process of updating the game client within the Android operating system. There are two ways on this platform.
How to update Pokemon Go on Android?

The second method is relevant for those who play Pokemon Go from a country in which the official server is not running. To do this, you must turn off the Internet on your mobile device. After that, uninstall the Pokemon Go application from your smartphone or tablet.
Now you need the game client of the latest version in APK format. You can find it in the public domain on the Internet. Download the file to the root directory and install through the file manager on the device. After that, connect the Internet to your smartphone and enter the game.
