Pokémon Go just made a huge change to wild spawns out of nowhere

A few days ago, Pokémon Go players reported an odd occurrence in the game’s overworld when they started seeing wild Pokémon spawn a bit farther away than usual. Initially, everyone thought it was just a bug, but it appears Niantic has pushed a surprising quality-of-life improvement live with no plans to revert it.

As part of the 0.275.0 update that has been rolling out to most devices over the last several days, the spawn radius around player avatars has doubled, from 40 meters to 80 meters.
