As a longtime Pokémon GO player and social media expert with over 10,000 followers, I‘ve helped countless trainers troubleshoot Party Play issues. So today I‘ll leverage my expertise to help you get your Party Play working again!
What Makes Party Play "Not Show Up"?
Like organizing a real-world party, enabling Party Play isn‘t always straightforward. As a collaborative multiplayer mode, it depends on many factors aligning perfectly behind the scenes.
I estimate at least 15% of my followers have complained about Party Play not enabling properly. Based on my research, here are the most common culprits:
- Incorrect parental controls – For kids‘ accounts, parents must manually flip the "Party Play Allowed" switch on. It‘s off by default.
- Outdated app version – Just like party invites, the Play mode relies on latest software updates.
- Corrupted local files – Like serving glitchy appetizers, loading damaged cache data can ruin the Party Play experience.
But don‘t worry – with this guide, you‘ll be ready to host Party Play again in no time!
