Pokemon-go – Why isn’t the ‘Nearby Pokemon’ menu showing any distance footsteps

pokemon-go

I've logged in and out, restarted my phone, updated, but the Pokemon footsteps indicating whats nearby wont show up.

The Pokemon still appear in the menu, but I cannot click to select them, nor does it show their distance from me with the footsteps.

What is going on?

In the most recent update, Niantic removed the tracking functionality (that wasn't even working prior to the update).

Previously, three footsteps would show for every Pokémon, and they wouldn't track, now the UI matches the functionality available.

The feature was removed due to the computational load on Niantic's servers.
