Fix: Pokemon GO Daily Incense Not Working
It looks like that Niantic has changed Incense Lures in the last year which has somehow reverted back to movement-based items. So, the in-game trainers will have to walk in for the Incense to spawn Pokemon. In that case, if you’re expecting to use it then you’ll have to walk and you won’t find it in the house. The chances are high that there can be issues with the cache data in the game. Luckily, there are a couple of ways to fix the issue.
1. Reboot the Game
It’s highly recommended to restart the Pokemon GO game on your Android or iOS device manually to ensure there is no issue with the temporary glitch.
