Ingress is more than just a game, and pushes Agents to explore the world far and wide.
Agent @fenixruivao started an expedition across Brasil from "Oiapoque" to "Chuì", as many Brasilian songs tell about, with his specially modified pickup truck! His journey will span across 3 months and will take him up through the central region of the country and down along allowing him to explore it with the eyes of Ingress!
If you are interested in following such an epic feat, you can head to Instagram or Youtube!
We wish @fenixruivao the best of luck in his journey! Have fun!

🔧Ingress Drone Reminder Bot
Resistance Agent @Lynnsane created a new tool to make life on Ingress a little bit easier!
The Ingress Drone Reminder Bot is a Telegram Bot designed to remind users whenever it's time to move their drone to a different portal. Behaving like a stopwatch on steroids, give it the "fly" command after moving your drone and it will alert you whenever you will be able to move it again. It's also updated in real time with cooldown decrease from Niantic Events!
Additionally, it features a purely cosmetic function to add a colored heart and Agent name with the hue of your Faction!
Feel free to try it out @drone_reminder_bot!
Big thanks to Agent @Lynnsane for sharing this tool with us!

Niantic has given a small update: Facebook has disabled the "log in with Facebook" method for Ingress, and Niantic is in contact with them to fix this.
In the meantime, you can log in with your Google or Apple account. Should you not have one connected, here's what you can do:
- Open another Niantic game (Pokemon Go, Harry Potter).
- Log in with your Facebook account
- Connect your Google or Apple account to your account
- Log in to Ingress with your Google or Apple account.

Another important update: Facebook has blocked login to Ingress via their platform. According to Facebook, this is not temporary. Niantic is trying to challenge this decision.
If you only have one Facebook account connected to your Ingress account, follow the steps in our last post. It seems like Facebook login may take longer to be reactivated.

With the new 2.83.1 Ingress version, announced features become real!
- Adventure Sync connects with Google Fit or Apple HealthKit to record your walking distance even if the Ingress Scanner isn’t open. This distance is used towards the Trekker medal and also completing Kinetic Capsule Programs.
- Portal Scan Meshing on supported phones allows Agents to better see what has and hasn’t been scanned during a Portal Scan. Meshing is an opt-in feature; all devices that had access to Portal Scanning in previous Ingress releases can continue to use the point cloud visualization.
In addition:
- Updated the loading flow with the Powered by Niantic Lightship logo.
- Fixed: Missing keyboard button in COMM Chat.
- Fixed: Hard lock when trying to re-scan a Portal.
- Fixed: Subscription Refreshbutton in the Settings menu sometimes fell below the fold.

Is my phone compatible with the new Scan Meshing?
After you have received the newest update, there is a new button in the scan view, which you can find in the upper right corner. If your phone is compatible, you will be prompted to download about 28MB of data for Niantic Lightship AR, after which Portal Scan Meshing will be enabled for you.
If your phone is not compatible, you will unfortunately get an error message. According to Niantic, the number of compatible phones will be increased in the future.
Is your phone compatible? Let us know in the comments!

Thia has posted a quite cryptic post on the Ingress Community Forum. It states that the NIA (the Niantic Investigation Agency, the lore related one) has received clearance to experiment with cross-links under certain circumstances.
We are unsure about the meaning of the post. This may be a storyline cover for some experimentation on Ingress or the introduction of a new mechanic to the game. In any case, keep us updated in the comments about any unexpected phenomenon regarding cross-links!
⚠ EDIT: Vanguard @Azhreia shared with us that the circumstance mentioned in the post is the reset of spoofed Portals by Niantic. If the Portal is eligible for reset, the links attached to it will also be reinstated, no matter if they cross other existing links.

Niantic has sent an email to its players across all games, inviting them to reserve their in-game username as their Niantic ID.
A Niantic ID is a new feature introduced by Niantic to unify the identity of players across all of Niantic’s games and experiences. As Niantic stated, the Niantic ID will unify all of a player's existing in-game usernames.
This does not mean that your in-game usernames will change. Rather, your existing (and future) in-game usernames will be connected to your Niantic ID.
You may reserve your Niantic ID by logging in to this website!

Are you interested in Niantic Lightship, the framework behind Ingress Prime and Pokemon GO? Then join us today at 6 pm UTC, at the top of the next hour, when Niantic officially releases the Lightship platform and makes it available to developers. Niantic has planned a 40-minute livestream in which Lightship and its function will be introduced and some demos will be shown. The main point of Lightship is of course the POI network as well as the AR features, which can already be found in Niantic games.
Please note: This event is more aimed at developers, so it is unlikely (but not impossible) that there will be news about Ingress.

Thia, the Community Specialist for Ingress, has had a two hour long call with @van_valdis, randomly picked from the Agents on the forum. In the call, a lot was talked about, including the future of Ingress and what is currently planned, including potential Live Events in mid-2022, Mission Days, and other things.
We want to make it clear that a lot of the things are planned and another lot of things are just ideas. It is not a guarantee that any of these things will happen, as plans can change or be canned completely. A few things are also personal ideas and wishes of Thia as an agent, not from Niantic as a whole, so they should not be seen as things Niantic is actively working on or is even aware of.

Niantic's Brian Rose and Anthony Maas gave a talk yesterday at the Augmented World Expo 2021 about the integration of Niantic Lightship into Ingress. During this talk, there was a sneak peek at upcoming features that will encourage scanning.
"Scanner Crates" have already been playtested and are said to be an AR geocache, which you can apparently find with the camera at portals. They contain "rare in-game items."
Niantic is also currently working on "community goals," which can be experienced together with others. The rewards of these "shared experiences" will also be shared.
How these two features will be combined with portal scanning is not yet known. It is also unknown when these features will be officially announced.
