Pokémon Go update for iOS now available, clarifies access to Google data
The 1.0.1 update is now available in the App Store. Before you perform the update, sign out of the game. You can do this in Pokémon Go by going into the app settings and tapping Sign Out at the bottom of the screen. (If you don’t sign out before updating the app, that’s OK. You’ll need to do so when you launch the update.)
To update the game directly on your iPhone, tap on the App Store app, and then tap the Updates tab on the bottom navigation bar. When you see the update appear on the list, tap the Update button. You can also install the update via iTunes on your Mac, with your iPhone connected.
After the update is installed, launch the app and sign in as usual. If you sign in using Google, you’ll see this new screen.
If you go to the web and check your Google account for your connected apps, you should see a change in what Pokémon Go accesses. If you don’t sign out and then sign back into the game as mentioned earlier, you may not see this updated status.
