Is Pokemon Go respecting your privacy when it comes to the amount of data it collects? That’s a question you should ask yourself considering that the game does require you to provide the game unlimited access to your location data and camera. And you’d think you should not be worried about Niantic swiping over your data for malicious use – or even spying purposes.

Pokemon Go has become one of the most addictive games. Surprisingly, in such a short period of time, it is now the most popular game in the history of US. Well, the hard work of the developers is finally paying off for sure! But, the issue with this game is that the continuous use of GPS and Data results in super fast draining of battery.

The mobile game is still unavailable in various countries and there have been many reports of bugs and other problems.

If you wanted to be the very best like no one ever was, well sorry — you’re just a little too late.
It’s not Gary Oak, but he might as well be. It’s 28-year-old Nick Johnson, a New Yorker who has recently travelled around the world on a quest to catch ’em all in Pokémon Go.
Pokémon GO continues its global expansion with the addition of 15 Asian and Oceanic countries where it’s now available, but India, China and Korea are still left out of the party.
The full list of new countries are: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau.
The game has long been expected to launch in Asia, but it remains to be seen when it will finally hit India, China and Korea. While security issues and other woes related to the game’s reliance on Google Maps may explain Pokémon GO‘s absence in China and Korea, it remains unclear what’s holding it back in India.
In the case of India, where smartphone sales are growing in double-digital percent among its 1.2 billion population, it isn’t clear what is holding the launch up and when the game will go live.
As for those game improvements, the Pokémon GO update has not been well-received by players, sparking heavy criticism, but Niantic promised it was for the better.
