Party Play Issues

Pokemon GO’s new Party Play is rolling out to all trainers around the world! You can work with friends in an hour-long team to accomplish challenges, increase your Raid Power and explore the map together.

Niantic continues to work on improving this feature. Below is some information about known issues. Please let Niantic Know if you encounter any other problems.

The distance explored at the bottom of the party summary might not be the same for all players.

Problem description: If a player leaves an early Party, it may affect the total distance traveled by all players. It is only a bug that affects visual rewards and not distance-based ones.

Problem status: Fixed in the upcoming version (0.287).

The Trainer Avatar appears in the Map even when you are on a Raid.

Problem description: A Trainer’s avatar still appears when they are in a raid.

Problem status: Fixed in the upcoming version (0.287).

Instead of favourited Party Challenges, default Party Challenges appear on the Activity page.

When their location sharing data is disabled, party members are still visible.
