"Pokemon Go" 1.23.1 update for iOS and 0.53.1 for Android have been just been released by Niantic. Based on the patch notes, the updates come with a fix for the GPS Drift.
"Pokemon Go" 0.53.1, 1.23.1 Updates Changed Distance Tracking For Better GPS Drift
With the release of "Pokemon Go" updates for iOS and Android, some changes have been noted. These changes include minor text fixes, display of eggs that were collected from PokeStops and the change in distance tracking for a better GPS drift.
"Pokemon Go" trainers reportedly thought that the update would make the hatching eggs more difficult given the fix for GPS to better account the distance tracking. Fortunately, that was not the case, considering the reports that the fix worked to the trainers' advantage in hatching eggs easier. Now, playing the game to hatch eggs become faster as well, Otakukart reported.
