Pokemon-go – maximum gym time for Pokémon or do I have to wait until someone defeats it

With the new gym rework, there is now a way to see how long your pokemon has been defending a gym. If you go to the gym with your pokemon in it and click on your pokemon like you are going to feed it berries, near the top right of the screen will be three small symbols with labels. One is number of battles won, one is length of time since you put the pokemon in the gym, and the last will be the number of berries the pokemon has been fed since being placed in the gym.

These symbols should be labeled, but if not, the battles symbol looks like two pokeballs with the "POW!" background, i believe the length of time is a shield symbol, and the berries fed symbol looks like a Razzberry. They should also be in that order, from left to right.

I saw a few questions like these. I did a lot of research myself to see how I could fix the problem, and this trick did it, so I thought I'd add my two cents, and so this can also help future readers.

Why is Pokemon Go not Working on WiFi?

At the first launch of the app, a setting must have been selected automatically that restricts data access to the Pokemon go app.

How to fix the problem

Go to:

1. Settings of the phone
2. Go to the apps section of your settings
3. Click on "reset app preferences" in that section (for my Galaxy S7 I click the three dots at the top right of the screen first)
4. Launch Pokemon Go

Downfalls

This will reset the app preferences for every app, which means that when you launch an app, it will again ask you a prompt for access to a certain feature on your phone. For example, Gallery will ask for permission to your photos the next time you open it, just like Pokemon Go will ask for permission to your camera.
