Niantic has announced earlier this morning that a brand-new update that sports the 0.173.2 version number is now available to download by all Pokemon Go fans who are using Android-powered smartphones.

Pokemon Go 0.173.2 Update
Since the new update is rolling out via over the air channels, then the only thing that Pokemon Go fans are required to do in order to access it is to keep their smartphones connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. Alternatively, the update can be manually downloaded and installed in the form of APK (Android Package Kit).
What’s New?
The new update focuses on enhancing the overall Pokemon Go experience in individual settings. Check out the patch notes below:
