When you install or update apps, there is the probability that these apps can accidentally turn off your Adventure Sync. So, make sure that the box of Adventure Sync is checked. 

2. Adventure Sync Isn't Working

If you see that Adventure Sync is not tracking your walking distance, then this is a problem with the permissions on your device. You should make sure that Pokemon Go has full access to the location services of your mobile all the time.

3. My Adventure Sync Distance Is Getting Wrong

There can be a few reasons for this. Firstly, give some time to Pokemon app as sometimes there can be a delay in showing the exact distance you walked. Secondly, battery saver can also affect the functionality of Adventure Sync. Lastly, Pokemon Go only counts which you walked in actual so putting “extra” data on this app won’t help you.
