Agent @Fordrax (Jari), member of the Enlightened Lions and Wolves of Belgium passed away last night at the age of 31.

His community remembers him as an extraordinary agent who played almost exclusively on foot. He participated in numerous events from Operations to Anomalies. He was always willing to help locally, nationally and internationally.

A beacon-lighting event has been organised by his friends at 11 UTC on Friday December 4th, the day of his funeral.

From the staff, our condolences to his family and friends.

Niantic announced the new version of Ingress Prime, v2.60.2!

In this version, a new News Feed has been added to to COMM, containing the latest updates from the Ingress Team and Niantic Project researchers. In addition, a SCAN PORTAL button has been added to Portal Details for faster access to Portal Scanning, and the upload confirmation dialog has been reduced to a toast, which doesn't require an additional tap to dismiss.

Among the fixed bugs:

• The Glyph Hack "Bonus items:" window will not flash then close any longer.
• The "Black Links" issue on some 32-bit phones was resolved.
• The Kinetic Capsule distance counter won't round up to 8.0/8km when Agents are actually at 7.9km walked.
• The Android Back button will now skip the item animation in the in-app Store.

Niantic's Brian Rose stated on the comments of this Forum Thread that the additional 500AP will be kept even after the end of Eos Protocol Phase 2 yesterday.

@IUENG
Thanks to @InvestigateXM and @aristogeiton1, here is a preview of the new additions to Ingress for those who have not received the update yet: the News tab in COMM, and the SCAN PORTAL button.

@IUENG
Players are reporting that a proper bug reporting tool has been added to the Ingress Forums!

This platform, in addition to reporting bugs, allows Agents to upvote the ones that they deem more urgent or important.
Examples: COMM jumps and Low FPS in the map screen

To avoid having duplicate or inaccurate reports, cluttering the tool or plain misusing it, BEFORE posting your bug report please read this thread carefully, then adapt your report to these indications.
You also might want to read the "Known Issues" section to avoid reporting issues that Niantic is already aware of.

Agent @Tenkterra shared with us this screenshot showing the Subscription (plus Recursion) icon next to Brian Rose's in-game account.

Subscriptions may be coming really soon. Stay tuned for more updates!

Niantic provided the answer we were waiting for, regarding volatile portals briefly appearing in the Intel Map!

Starting now, the Scanner and Intel Map will now display Volatile Scout Controller Portals using a yellow Portal marker. These Portals will earn 3 Scout Controller Points towards the Scout Controller medal when Agents claim its Scout Controller status.

Niantic revealed that this new mechanic will allow them to "experiment with scaling Portal markers globally across the Portal Network that can provide Agents with additional information about each Portal in the future."

FAQ is available in the source Forum Thread: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/12903/volatile-scout-controller-portals

@IUENG
The release notes for the new Ingress Prime update, v2.61.2, were released!

In addition to the Volatile Scout Controller Portals being introduced to the game (see our previous post), the following bugs were fixed:

Portal photos should now display correctly instead of failing to load on the Portal Details screen. In the COMM News Feed, fonts and colors were adapted to the rest of COMM and, finally, Agents can now create only 1 Ingress account per email address across Google, Facebook, or Apple login methods.

💙💚 Agents of both Factions joined in the city of Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, to create this massive XF linkstar in memory of Enlightened Agent Halbi, who recently passed away at a young age.

We join them in thanking the Agents on the ground and in expressing our condolences to Halbi's family.

@IUENG
Agents around the world are reporting Ingress to have difficulties in handling login.

The issue seem to be originating at Google, since several services are not responding such as YouTube, Meet and the Assistant network.

Hang in there, Ingress will be back soon!

EDIT: Facebook and Apple login are unaffected

@IUENG

For many years, Ingress Agents could count on an invaluable help in planning OPs, monitoring ground teams, checking portal status and much more. Now, the team behind Ingress Intel Total Conversion - Community Edition (IITC-CE) needs your help to make the next big update happen!

The effort made by the developers was massive and confirmed by the great improvement the app saw in time, but to make the new features available for Agents worldwide, some translation work is needed with the help of the Ingress Community.

If you would like to help, head over to https://weblate.iitc.app/projects/iitc-ce/, register and choose your language to start translating. Alternatively, share this with your communities, all help received is precious!

More info on the project here. More IITC-CE news at their Telegram channel
If you have any questions, you may contact @modos189, the creator of the project.
