How to fix Pokémon Go freezes

If you don’t know if Pokemon Go frozen because of bad Internet connection or the game is frozen, look for the spinning white Pokéball in the upper left corner. If you see this white spinning Pokeball on your screen then you know that Niantic’s servers are being refreshed.
