Did you notice that after the recent update, you cannot use your Lucky Eggs and Incense anymore? Regardless of how much you tap or swipe, or do any unique gestures in your screen, you won’t be able to use your Lucky Eggs and Incenses? I don’t know if I’m alone or if someone is experiencing the same problem as mine.
This problem recently occurred after the new gym mechanics was implemented. I already search in Google, Reddit, Pokemongo blogs, and other sites, but to no avail.
I’m also having a hard time throwing berries to increase the chances of capturing Pokemons.
If you’re encountered the same problem as I did, please leave a comment below.
Btw, I’m using iOS (iPad) with the latest Pokemon Go app installed.

same here, it’s like it is disabled explicitly

Same. It’s only on my iPad though. My iPhone is working normally. The item I select just bounces around on my screen and doesn’t respond to my swipe.
oh yeah! maybe it’s just an ipad issue. I haven’t tried my account on another device yet. I also haven’t read any other who encountered the same issue. Thanks for sharing Ky. Good thing I’m not alone.
There’s also an issue when throwing berries to tame pokemons. It doesn’t throw immediately. Did you encounter this as well in your iPad?
Ditto here with the ipad…which is the primary device iuse
It’s happening to me with an Android device. Glad to know I’m not alone.
Yes, I’m having the same issues, throwing berries or eggs. I’m using an IPad Pro
Thanks for sharing. I think this is a long time issue and they just ignore it because only a few uses an iPad to play PokemonGo. haha!
I have the same problem on my Samsung tab s2. It seems to be ok on my phone.
It also seems that the picture is a little too large for the display screen. During raid bonuses I can’t see the ball count.
thanks for sharing. seems this bug occurs on tablet devices, not just phones.
i mean, not just ipads, but all tablet devices. ?
I can’t see the ball count either- I just noticed that. I was trying to catch a Snorlax just now in the bonus raid, I thought it was an error wow.
No eggs, no incense or stars. Smh
Same problem here. Ipad Mini 4. Can’t use lucky eggs and get a delay when using berries… 🙁
Same here. using new ipad. can’t use lucky eggs and berries.
Try swiping from right underneath the item, it just worked for me
Thanks for the tip nina. What iPad version are you using? The swiping from right underneath doesn’t seem to work with my iPad mini. T__T
I have the mini as well, it’s very touchy about where you swipe it. It’s like a hair underneath it for me. It took a while to figure out the correct spot, so keep at it, you should be able to find the spot.

I’m also having the same problems has anyone found out what to do?
No solution yet until now, it’s already a year since this bug occured.
Same here. iPhone is good, but not my iPad….What gives??
I’m having the same issue on My iPad, berries are a bit finicky but the lucky eggs are a pain and a half and then some to activate on iPad. Never had this issue with Android…
Yep. Sam issue with Samsung tablet
PokemonGo: Why I cannot use my Lucky Egg and Incense anymore I’m having a similar issue on My iPad, berries are somewhat finicky yet the fortunate eggs are an agony and a half and afterward some to actuate on iPad. Never had this issue with Android…
The person that said tap slightly underneath the berry, or egg (Incense is the hardest but that works too).. Thank you, it works!!!!
Same problems here on 2 of ouour iPad minis. Dangit, I was really hoping this thread would reveal the issue. We will try the sweeping underneath but I feel like we have done EVERY move possible. If anyone had other pointers that would be great. Thanks so much to all
It’s 2020 has anyone figured out to fix this problem on iPads? I can’t use incense or eggs or star dust.
