Pikmin Bloom is essentially the new Pokemon Go, though some players are encountering issues with the iPhone (iOS) and Android application. After downloading the Nintendo and Niantic mobile game, players are receiving the Pikmin Bloom “Background location tracking” error message. The in-game notification reads: “Background location tracking is disabled on device, so you won’t be able to use features that require it to be on.” But, is there a quick and easy fix? Here’s the need-to-know info on a solution to the new Pikmin mobile game’s location tracking problem.
Pikmin Bloom ‘Background location tracking’ error fix
Here’s how to fix Pikmin Bloom’s background location tracking error pop-up:
- Open the iPhone (iOS) or Android settings menu.
- Locate and select the Pikmin Bloom app.
- Adjust the location settings to always allow access.
By performing these simple steps, players will enable the Pikmin Bloom background location tracking feature. This will get rid of the intrusive error message, but also let users experience the game at its best. Allowing the app to always track location enables players to pick up seedlings, plant flowers, and log activity without having the application open. This conserves battery life while also passively earning progress in the game.
Enabling this setting isn’t 100% necessary, though by opting out players won’t earn progress for their steps when Pikmin Bloom isn’t actively open. Some choose to turn it off for privacy reasons, which is fine, though do be aware of the comparatively lesser progress to be made within the game.
