In the new "Pokémon" game, "Pokémon GO," your job is to walk around the actual world and collect Pokémon. The game seamlessly blends the real world with fictional pocket monsters like Zubat and Clefairy and what have you.
The way you catch these Pokémon? By locating them in the real world and tapping on the icon in-game, which then brings up your phone's camera. Just like that, your phone's camera is on and you're relentlessly flicking Pokéballs from the bottom of your phone's screen at the Cloyster (or whatever other monster) in an attempt to catch it.
There's just one problem: The real world is full of other people. Wouldn't you know it, people get a little weirded out when you're walking around them with your phone camera, seemingly snapping dozens of photos.
Sure, you're not trying to creep them out. But hey, you're totally creeping them out. But there's a solution!
See that little icon right there? The toggle in the upper right corner that says Camera? Just flick that. Here's what you'll see instead of, ya know, human life all around you:
Simple! Assuredly there'll be instances where you want to, say, snap a pic of a Pokémon in the world. We totally understand. But in an instance where you want to just capture a Pokémon without creeping out strangers, this is the solution you're looking for.
