Pokémon GO - Update
The patch for Pokémon GO, Version 1.37, is now gradually being pushed to Android and iOS devices. This patch includes all the Gym and Raid changes addressed yesterday, but it will also include push notifications for Gyms, as well as notifiers that indicate if you have visited a PokéStop before. It also adds a new feature to let you search your Pokémon collection. This update is currently rolling out so will take a few days to get to everyone
