Why Syncing The Apps Is Important?
Syncing the apps is very important as it allows the apps to share the data with each other. In this case, Pokémon Go gets the data, such as step count from the Google Fit app.
If the apps are not synced, then the Pokémon Go won’t be able to get the data, and ultimately, you won’t get any reward. So, if you want to win the rewards, then syncing your apps is very important.
What Is Adventure Sync In Pokémon Go?
As Pokémon Go encourages its players to go out and catch Pokémons, it comes with the Adventure Sync feature, where the apps get the data of players’ activity through the Apple Health app.
