It is exciting yet intimidating to get a new phone as sometimes the favorite apps behave differently on the new phone. People who have recently made the switch to the iPhone 11 Pro Max would understand this. It as exciting as it is but terrifying too to find out that your favorite game, Pokémon Go looked and behaved differently! One will need to know and follow certain steps to make the transition smooth and easy.
There is not much difference with how Pokémon Go operates on different devices. Though the display colors might take a little bit to get used to, especially when hunting for subtle Shiny colors. Also the one really big difference that can impact game play, as well as a feature that could be a sticking point in the future is the aspect ratio of the screen. If the move is from a tablet, to an Android phone, or to an iPhone, the screen is going to be significantly different.
Niantic has made the process of transferring one account from one device to the next extremely easy. While creating Pokémon Go account one has to link it to an existing account (usually, a Google account, but it can be a Pokémon Trainer Club account, a Niantic Kids account or even a Facebook account). One has to access to that account, sign back in with that account and everything transfers over. Using Pokemon Go Promo Codes here becomes even more helpful. This is a super easy process compared to lots of other apps.
But Niantic doesn’t utilize the Promo Code feature for Pokémon Go. This is one other difference when switching from an Android to an Apple device. Promo Codes cannot be redeemed on iPhones. Thus the only option is to log back into an Android device to claim it.
