Fortunately, there are a few super handy tricks I have used to fix this issue. Read on to find out more.
How to Fix “GPS Signal Not Found” Error in Pokemon Go on iPhone/iPad
Quick Tips
- If you’re playing the game outdoors, turn your WiFi on and off a few times if there is no network. You can do this by going to the Settings app, tap on Wifi and then toggle the switch on or off.
- If you are playing the game indoors, you might want to step outside just to make sure GPS satellite is able to locate your device.
- Turn Cellular/Mobile data off and then back on a few times. You can do this in by tapping on the Cellular option in the Settings app.
- Go to the Settings app and enable Airplane mode. Wait a few minutes and then turn it back off.
Enable/Disable Location Services
- First off, go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Next up, tap on Privacy and then tap on Location Services.
- Disable Location Services and then turn it back on.
Leave the Game for Some Time
Wait for a few minutes before you launch the game again. This trick has worked for me a couple of times.
- Exit the game by pressing the Home button.
- Next, go to any other app and use it for a few minutes.
- Launch the Pokémon Go app again.
Force Quit the App and Re-launch It
This might result in you losing the immediate data but it can get it fixed.
- Open the multitasking screen by double-tapping the Home button.
- Next, swipe till you get to the Pokémon Go card.
- Quit the app by swiping upon it.
- Now, go to the app and open it again.

Now, doing this might be somewhat painful as it will result in you losing all the network settings. However, it can fix the issue.
- Go to the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Next up, tap on General and then scroll down the screen until you see the Reset option. Tap on it.
- Now, tap on Reset Network Settings ad then tap on Reset Network Settings to confirm.
