My wife recently started playing Pokémon GO, but unlike me, she never receives the scan tasks from Pokéstops. I seem to get them regularly, especially from certain stops in our area that consistently offer scan quests. Is there a specific setting she needs to enable or something else that controls whether you get scan tasks? We’ve checked common Pokéstops here, but she still hasn’t gotten any after a month of playing.

You should check her settings to make sure she has “Enable PokéStop Scan” turned on. It’s in the uploads section of the settings menu. If that’s off, she won’t receive scan tasks even if she visits the right stops.
Not all Pokéstops offer scan tasks. Only specific stops are selected to give those quests, so if your wife is spinning different stops or hasn’t visited one of the ‘scan task’ enabled stops, she might not get those quests. It can also depend on the area and how Niantic sets it up locally.
Yeah, but in our case, I get scan tasks constantly from some stops in our area, but she never got a single one in a whole month, even when spinning the same stops with me.
Thanks, we checked and turned that setting on for her. Hopefully she’ll start seeing those tasks now!
