This is a wonderful news for people who spend much time to hatch eggs or collect buddy candy because both missions require players to walk or bicycle a fix distance. You may not forget how hard it is to hatch a 10-kilometer egg. However, things have changed. Pokémon Go now can record your steps even when it is not open. Besides, this update is also friendly to your battery and data plans.

Through Android Google Fit and iOS HealthKit, Adventure Sync can obtain data of your weekday exercise like walking, running…and make a summary every week. After that, Adventure Sync will send data to Pokemon Go and it will have a certain impact on the game like unlocking rewards or missions on the game based on your weekly activity.
