New version of Pokemon Go released

Pokémon Go developer Niantic has released an update for the game’s Android app, bringing its version number to 0.29.3.

According to the “What’s New” section on Google Play, the new version only introduces some “minor text fixes”.

The game first launched in Australia and New Zealand on 5 July, and in the US on 6 July.

Since then it has become a global sensation, despite only launching in 28 more countries in Europe.

If you downloaded the Android version of Pokémon Go through alternative means, you might want to download the new version in the same way.

APKMirror has the latest version of the app on its Pokémon Go page.
