Have you ticked 'Battery Saver' in the settings menu? You can find settings at the top of the Pokéball menu (the one you use to access Pokémon, Pokédex, items, etc) and then you'll see an option to turn on Battery Saver. Once this is ticked you'll be able to do what you're asking :)
That's really odd. Based on what you said in the other thread about your medal issues I wonder if you may just need to reinstall the app at this stage. Feels like you've got a fair few bugs in it haha.Yeah. Sometimes it gets unticked but whenever it's checked it still doesn't work. I guess the app is just still buggy or something about the orientation of my phone is off.

What kind of notifications are you referring to? I'm looking to do this but I'm kind of nooby when it comes to phones - any details would be very appreciated!If you're really trying to save battery, the best way I've found is to turn off all or most of the notifications on your phone. With Android, at least, that is a MASSIVE battery suck. You will thank me.
Perhaps they mean the sound effects, music, and vibrations? I'm pretty sure GO doesn't do any other notifications other than that.What kind of notifications are you referring to? I'm looking to do this but I'm kind of nooby when it comes to phones - any details would be very appreciated!

That's what I was assuming. Alright I'll try this out and get back to you with the results - if it works then you'll go down in history as my hero! If it doesn't then I'll probably just stick my tongue out at you and maybe poke you a bit. One question as I am very dumb; how do I turn these off? :DMy apologies for not getting back to you sooner.
I was not talking about sound effects or anything in the Pokemon Go app, itself.
I'm talking about the notifications on your phone. Push notifications, if you have Android. The notifications from other apps like Facebook, Messenger, Twitter, etc, etc. Anything that pops up on your phone as an alert--turn that off. The amount of battery that I saved as a result was tremendous. I realize, it will vary based on how many apps you have running on your phone, but, it should definitely have an effect.

Ahhhh thank you for this you are my hero! I don't know what impact it'll have on battery yet but there's this game I play which never stops bugging me with notifications and this is going to be a life saver. I'll make sure to update the effect on battery life when I got out Pokémon hunting tonight!Are you using Android?
If so, it could vary a little bit but for me, I go to "Settings", then "Sound and Notifications" and then "App Notifications" and then select the apps I want and "Block notifications".
