Niantic published release notes for Ingress' new update, v2.76.1. It will reach your scanners soon!
In this version, Portal Scanning now displays hexagonal points to "provide more visual feedback during the scanning flow" (see picture), and the Aerodyne avatar by IQTech was added to the game.
As far as bug fixes are concerned, the Reassign Portal button in the tutorial now has consistent styling and passcodes which include a Portal Key won't hang the redeeming animation any longer.

The Wayfarer team has released an update on their roadmap for the next few months! This is what's coming up:
• Wayfarer Challenges for 2021 are being planned: let the team know where you think the events should travel next!
• The Wayfarer team is growing and will engage more with the community, even with more educational material and QoL updates to the Wayfarer Forum.
• The ability to see what Wayspots have already been approved during the Wayspot nomination process in Pokémon GO is being worked on. (Not all Portals are Pokéstops, so often PoGo players unknowingly submit POIs which are already in the database)
• The onboarding process will require new submitters to read the criteria before being able to submit nominations and review them. (Maybe with a test?)
• The ability to appeal rejections will be introduced in the future, to improve the nomination management experience.
• The team hasn't forgotten about their promise to fix email notifications. They will be revamped in the coming months.

The cool thing about discovering local landmarks? You might just come across a Portal. @Ingress Agents, have you discovered any new ones lately? #MeetYouOutThere
In light of Agents' Feedback, NianticThia reported on the Forums that the Ingress Team has decided to leave the maximum number of Keylockers per Agent at 6! The 6-pack of Keylockers remains available to everyone on the store along with the Onyx Keylocker.
The form to request the deletion of a Keylocker from your inventory (if you are planning to purchase the Onyx one, but already own 6) has been re-opened. As a reminder this is only available to C.O.R.E. Subscribers and the Onyx Keylocker must be purchased separately.

Last night, Niantic published the release notes for Ingress Prime v2.77.1!
In this new version, as previously noted, destroying a Mod will award 80 AP instead of 75 to differentiate it from other actions. Furthermore, the Events button in the Main Menu will redirect to Ingress' Events website.
As far as bug fixes are concerned, the Nominations button in the Main Menu is no longer affected by stage fright and won't randomly disappear, C.O.R.E subscription renewal will now happen on time.
The team also reports that Facebook login on the Intel Map is now functioning again.

Brian, the senior producer for Ingress, has published a new blog post. He recalls the beginning of Ingress, when Niantic sent a special patch to the first 5000 agents who reached level 8, as well as a letter from Brian. Over time, the patch was revised and a version for both factions was made, which was given to agents along with special t-shirts during events.
The designs of the Level 8 Weekend medals resemble the designs of the patches and have found a special place in Brian's heart.

Second Sunday has been in full swing since midnight local time! If you complete six different old Mission Day missions from NIA today, you will get a point for your Mission Day medal.
At least that's how it's supposed to be, however due to a bug it's possible you won't get your point even if you do the six missions. Thia posted in the forum and apologized for this problem. If you are affected by this problem, please open a support ticket in which you send your agent name, a screenshot with the six completed missions and all mission infos you can share (with at least the name of one mission). You do not need to complete a 7th mission.

Niantic has announced that the backend for the Ingress Portal Network will be upgraded to the latest version of Niantic Wayfarer and Niantic Lightship. During these upgrades, photo submissions as well as portal edits will be delayed by several weeks. Niantic asks that you do not submit them twice.
Also, the email you receive when you submit a portal proposal or a decision has been made about it will be adjusted. In the future, this email will come directly from the Niantic Wayfarer platform, which will tell you that your proposal has been accepted by the Wayfarer community. This does not mean that it will result in a Portal. It is being changed to make it clear that acceptance of a suggestion does not necessarily mean that it will become a portal.
The Ingress team knows that many use these emails to keep track of which portals have come online, and they are exploring ways to bring this notification back.

Niantic has launched a private beta for Niantic Chat. Niantic Chat complements COMM and the forum by allowing agents to join and create public or private groups directly from Ingress without having to switch apps. Agents can coordinate events, farms or meetups with reminders pinned to the Niantic Chat world map. Agents can also optionally choose to temporarily share their location with their groups to help coordinate operations.
The first invitations for agents who are not Vanguards or XMAs have been sent. The next waves of invitations, which will be spread out over several months, will include NL-1331X #MeetYouOutThere Meetup participants and C.O.R.E. subscribers.
Niantic Chat can also be accessed from other Niantic games, such as with Catan.
