With the new dynamic link feature, Agents have created a group with the purpose of upvoting great portal pictures so that they can become the new main portal picture!

The "Portal Picture Like Exchange" is a group that wants to discover portal pictures from around the world and help improve the portal network by upvoting newer and better photos so that old or bad pictures are removed as the main portal picture. You uploaded a picture that is better than the current main portal picture and you need a few more upvotes? Or do you want to explore places and portals all around the world and improve the portal network while doing so? Then you can join the group below.

Please note that requests to upvote pictures with the intent to troll or manipulate will be removed. This includes trying to upvote pictures which include any sort of (faction) identification.

Niantic Supply has updated their website and confirmed that the X Series Bio Cards will contain passcodes for new medals! It is still unclear if the 3 Mystery Character or Bio Cards that will be randomly found in the kits will also contain passcodes for medals.

Agents in the US lead by Agent @GreatwhiteLover, having observed the lack of BannerRuck events lately, have prepared a very nice unofficial event for the month of May!

The event consists in a 5, 10 or 15 KM virtual trek, while completing an Ingress Banner. You can participate from anywhere in the world (outside of the US, the ticket is a bit more expensive) and however you want: running, walking, biking, crawling...!

Participants have a cool woven patch shipped home for their participation!

Signups close at the end of April. If you have any questions or need additional info, visit https://runsignup.com/Race/TX/Houston/HoustonIngressChallengeTrek or contact @GreatwhiteLover!

Niantic has published the release notes for version 2.92.1!

Two new types of Dynamic Links are added: Profiles and Missions! These can be shared with others so that the scanner will open them directly when you tap the link. These are now available in addition to the existing Portal Dynamic Links.

Should the user not have Ingress installed, they'll be redirected to their respective App Store to download Ingress when opening a Dynamic Link. Profile data is not available outside of Ingress.

Ingress has also been updated to the Unity 2020 LTS version and a few bugs have been fixed, such as a crash when uploading new photos and a visual bug where a rare Battle Beacon showed 5 checkpoints on the map instead of 3.
