Niantic's message comes after a wave of criticism from players concerned that the decision to restore the interaction distance for Gyms and Pokestops - back to the original 40 meters rather than the 80 meter limit permitted in response to the pandemic - limited th🐼e game's accessibility and did not take into account player safety.
