When Pokemon Go tags go missing, it becomes difficult for a trainer to manage his or her arsenal. There’s no need to worry.
Each game brings itself a set of bugs and no matter how annoying it can be, there’s always a solution. The ‘missing tag’ bug can be solved by following a few steps.
For those unaware of the ‘tag’ concept, it’s basically a feature to separate a specific set of Pokemons from the rest. Pokémon GO allows trainers to store up to three thousand Pokémon so keeping track of each, specifically the chosen ones, could be a problem.
This is where ‘tagging’ comes into play, reducing the chances of accidentally transferring the wrong Pokémon to Professor Willow or consuming time to find the right Pokemon.

Restarting Pokemon Go
The most recommended method of solving the disappearance of Pokemon Go tags is by restarting the game. Close the app and open it after a break of 30 seconds. However, there have been some cases in which the issue pops up even after several minutes of normal gameplay. The below-mentioned method is recommended in such a case.
Force Closing Pokemon Go
To force close the game on an Android device, navigate into Settings and then into Apps. Find Pokemon Go in the list, tap it, and then hit Force Stop in the lower right corner. Trainers can also use the search bar on top to find Pokemon Go and repeat the aforementioned process.
If any of the methods don’t work, reinstalling the Pokemon Go application shall do the trick. The save files will be transferred whenever a trainer uses Google/Facebook/Pokemon Trainer ID to log into the game.
