People who play Pokemon GO regularly know how to optimize the game to get the best performance on their mobile devices. However, there is one setting in the game that has slipped under the radar, and that is the Native Refresh Rate feature.

Enabling this feature in the title will allow players to enjoy smoother visuals, which will improve their daily gameplay experience. You can see and feel a huge difference in the way the game runs on your device once you toggle this setting on.

However, there is one drawback to enabling this refresh rate, and that is a faster drainage of your device’s battery. Since the game will be running at your phone’s refresh rate, it will use more energy.

As a result, enabling the Native Refresh Rate feature in Pokemon GO will drain your phone’s battery much faster.
