Pokémon Go item boost update finally solves one of game’s biggest headaches
Regarding quality-of-life updates, Pokémon Go has a lot of potential to improve. While Niantic usually doesn’t pay much attention to any of the community’s repeated requests, it does surprise us with small joys sometimes—like the latest change that makes using additional item boosts during events much easier.
You can now extend the duration of Pokémon Go boost items like Star Pieces, Incenses, and Lucky Eggs from the map, instead of having to open your bag and activate them manually. All you have to do is tap on the icon of the item that you have activated to get the option to extend it.
