How to Fix “App not active” in Pokemon GO

Many users are getting the “App not active” error when they try to log in to Pokemon GO with Facebook.

If you try to log in using Facebook, you will face that the app is not accessible right now.

If you’re already logged into the app with Facebook, you will not experience the issue.

However, users who are signed out of Facebook won’t be able to sign in again.

In this post, I will tell you why you got the “App not active” error in Pokemon GO and how to fix it.

What does “App not active” mean in Pokemon GO?

The “App not active” error means that the Facebook login for Pokemon GO is not working or down.

If Pokemon GO is down, the best method is to wait for the developers of the game to fix the issue before you begin log in again.

There are two ways that can be used to check if Pokemon GO is down.

The first way is to go to DownDetector and search for the terms “Pokemon GO”.

After searching for the game, you need to check a spike in the graph.

If you see a spike, it means that Pokemon GO is not up for everyone and you are not alone.

The second way is to use Twitter and search there for “Pokemon Down”.

If there are multiple tweets complaining about it, it probably means that the game is down globally.

At times, you can see a tweet https://twitter.com/PokemonGoApp about the issue if it’s a global error.
