How do I unlink my Apple ID from Pokémon GO?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

To unlink your Apple ID from Pokémon GO, you will need to follow a few steps on your iPhone. Here’s a detailed guide to help you through the process:

1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone. It’s the gray icon with gears.

2. Scroll down and tap on your name at the top of the screen. This will take you to your Apple ID settings.

3. In the Apple ID settings, tap on “Password & Security.” It’s usually located below your name and profile picture.

4. Next, you’ll see a list of options related to your security settings. Look for “Apps Using Apple ID” and tap on it.

5. In the “Apps Using Apple ID” section, you will find a list of apps and developers that are currently using your Apple ID for authentication purposes.

6. Scroll through the list and locate the Pokémon GO app or the developer associated with it.

7. Once you find Pokémon GO or the developer, tap on it. You will then see an option to “Stop Using Apple ID.” Tap on it to proceed.

8. A confirmation prompt will appear asking if you want to stop using your Apple ID for authentication with Pokémon GO. Confirm your decision by tapping “Stop Using.”

After completing these steps, your Apple ID will be unlinked from the Pokémon GO app. This means that you won’t be able to use your Apple ID to sign in or access any associated features within the game.

It’s worth noting that unlinking your Apple ID from Pokémon GO will not delete your Pokémon GO account or any progress you’ve made in the game. Your in-game data, such as Pokémon, items, and achievements, will remain intact.

If you decide to link a different Apple ID or use a different authentication method in the future, you can always go back to the “Apps Using Apple ID” section in your Apple ID settings and make the necessary changes.

Remember, it’s essential to have a good understanding of the implications before unlinking your Apple ID from any app, as it may affect your experience or access to certain features.
