  1. I updated my illipis 7 to a 10 ever since I get unfortunately Pokémon go has stopped. I’ve tried all the fixes listed and still don’t work, have uninstalled and reinstalled cleared cache, force stopped, cleared data, restarted, shut down, nothing works

  2. As soon as I try to catch any pokemon, I get an ‘unfortunately Pokemon go has stopped working’ message. I did the steps above and still don’t work. Any suggestions?

  3. None of these suggestions worked for me. Had to allow pokemon go access to everything except my contacts. Then I could finally avoid this error & get back in.

Got a question/query or a suggestion? Drop it below.
