- Reports are coming in that One UI 5.1.1 is causing Pokemon Go to crash.
- Developer Niantic has confirmed they are aware of the issue and are investigating.
- Most of the devices that have been affected appear to be Galaxy S21 handsets.
It won’t be long before Samsung Galaxy owners can upgrade to One UI 6. But if you’re a Pokemon Go player, you may be hoping to make the jump sooner rather than later. It appears One UI 5.1.1 is causing the Pokemon Go app to crash.
Over the last few weeks, numerous Galaxy owners have been reporting problems with Pokemon Go on Reddit and X (formerly Twitter). These users claim they are unable to log into their accounts, receiving pop-up messages like, “This account has failed to authenticate.” It appears the issue started only after these users updated their phones to One UI 5.1.1.
