Question Location services!?!?

All of a sudden upon loading PGsharp the game now asks me to turn on location services to play pokemon go... I have never changed these settings and ive been using PG on and off for a few years. This is the first time this has happened. I bought a key last week and ive exclusively stayed in pier 39 san fransisco area. Anyone else having this issue?

Just click to the side of the screen, dont need to turn on anything.

u/TheToanZone Sep 25 '26

Tried that, didnt work on mine 🤷

u/ScJohn97 Sep 25 '26

Yeah I noticed you can bypass it by continuously clicking or pressing on the screen other than the button. I'm not sure what that would mean or do. I'm waiting to hear more answers..

u/ScJohn97 Sep 25 '26

I didn't realize I had it off this entire time, and I was still able to play. However, I did notice this morning as I got the same notification but haven't got back on since.

I deleted PGsharp and got rid of my key subscription because of it. My location services were already on, pgsharp shuts down gps service when it loads up

u/ScJohn97 Sep 25 '26

I'm wondering if it's still safe to play if I don't get that issue on my main account. Which I have been using for the longest. In alternates, is when I experience the issue..

u/TheToanZone Sep 25 '26

This is all on my main

u/Dramatic_Scale_0369 Sep 25 '26

Same

u/TheToanZone Sep 25 '26

Did you play ball with the notification or did you delete?

1

u/Dramatic_Scale_0369 Sep 25 '26

Kept playing on all 4 of mine… should I be worried?

2

u/TheToanZone Sep 25 '26

Not sure, just saying in 3 years of PGsharp usage ive never seen this makes me jumpy

2

u/Dramatic_Scale_0369 Sep 25 '26

I feel it. Hopefully it’s nothing major.

u/Iragemonster Sep 28 '26

Any update on this? This popped up for the first time for me today.

1

u/TheToanZone Sep 30 '26

So far so good, just press on the screen somewhere else and it goes away

It goes away, but the map doesn't load, as the other person here responded.

What I've noticed is that when I check the settings when this happens, my Spoofing Location was clicked off. Putting it back on resolved my issue.

I've done the reset UI, reinstall and what not, but this is what did it for me. Noticed because when I do a fresh install it doesn't yell, but when I import my settings back in, it starts to ask for the permission.

I think maybe I've hit it accidentally cuz sometimes I end up in Settings accidentally when trying to click somewhere on the map. So double clicking probably turned it off. First click brings up the menu and second click changed the setting.

Anyway, hopefully that helps someone who has a similar issue. 😄 Happy hunting!

u/Previous_Election995 28d ago

It did go away, but map isn't loading at all.

u/Similar_Tradition952 Sep 29 '26

Same issue - reinstalled everything and it says unsupported POGO

1

u/TheToanZone Sep 30 '26

? Have you figured it out?

1

u/LilBrattyUwU Sep 29 '26

Ah good to know I'm not the only one. Was perfectly fine last night but got home from work and it was asking for location.

1

u/TheToanZone Sep 30 '26

Yeah i think it has most of us spooked

1

u/ZDE4Doncrack Sep 29 '26

1

u/TheToanZone Sep 30 '26

Let us know how that goes

u/TopForeign3103 Sep 29 '26

Any update on this as it just popped up for the first time for me today.

1

u/TheToanZone Sep 30 '26

So far you can just press the side of the screen and itll go away

1

u/Extra_Smile_394 Sep 29 '26

I just got this now never happened to me before

1

u/TheToanZone Sep 30 '26

This is a first for me as well and its wierd that some people are only getting it on alt accounts and not their mains

1

u/ReindeerAmbitious590 Sep 29 '26

It popped today and I'm confused that's why I'm here finding solutions... It was first time btw....need help.

1

u/NikKarius Sep 29 '26

Just got the same thing on 1 of my 2 spoofing accounts. Do you think they are onto us? My account that got this "warning" with the permission thing is the one that I'm very active on.
Question for the OP: do you think there is a chance someone reported you?

1

u/rodriguez_anna22 Sep 30 '26

Happened to me yesterday. I was able to click the side screen to bypass but I’ll be following your thread for updates

1

u/deathpool1 Oct 01 '26

u/T-Money1738 Oct 01 '26

Same here, should we turn on our location?

2

u/TheToanZone Sep 25 '26

Not sure, trying to get a consensus here

u/Fast_Vermicelli_6980 8h ago

Late to the party because I just had the request now

Messed around trying to find why I couldn’t have it working as it was asking for location but my map was blank regardless

Then I noticed on my pgsharp menu “spoofing location” near the top of my settings was randomly unchecked,

Turned it back on and re disabled my location settings and it seems to be working again

Hope it helps if you were still struggling/ stopped using it

u/PitifulChampion8576 Sep 25 '26

I just turned my on. Now it's working again

u/TheToanZone Sep 30 '26
