June 14th is World Blood Donor Day! It's the perfect time to roll up your sleeve and donate some of your blood in your body.
Need a little incentive? The folks of the #RedFaction are sending out a special embroidered patch for giving blood! Simply take a photo of yourself with your Ingress agent IGN somewhere in the picture while 'raising a sleeve' (donating a pint of the dark red stuff) with some sort of Ingress related item/swag in the picture as well. Post the picture to Social Media and fill out the form on the website! There is no time limit for recieving the patch.
Can't donate blood? Agent @CtrlAltFck has created and shared files for a misson banner! You can use these to create a new banner to support the community as well.

The Summer Solstice Event has started several minutes ago, and for some Agents, the goal was easily met!
Unfortunately, Agents are also reporting some issues with the Scanner's response times.
We will keep monitoring the situation and update you once the issue is resolved.
Status @ 1608 UTC: 🔴 Yep, lagging
Status @ 1613 UTC: 🔴 The whole app seems down, Agents unable to login.
Status @ 1630 UTC: 🔴 Niantic is aware of the issue
Status @ 1650 UTC: 🟠 Ingress is slowly recovering. Medal still delayed.
Status @ 1655 UTC: 🟢 Issue seems resolved. Try glyph hacking a portal if you haven't received your medal yet.

Juneteenth (officially Juneteenth National Independence Day) is a federal holiday commemorating the liberation of African Americans in the United States from slavery, celebrated annually on June 19. It is the oldest holiday commemorating the freeing of slaves in the United States and has been an official federal holiday in the United States since June 17, 2021. The American word is a portmanteau of the English words June and nineteenth - that is, for the date Juneteenth.
In the wake of this, Niantic has made three Black Lives Matter beacons available for free in the Store.

With Ingress version 2.95.1 (currently scheduled for mid-July), the requirements of the operating system you have installed on your phone increases.
With 2.95.1, you must have at least the following OS version installed on your phone:
🔸Android: Android 8 or higher.
🔸iPhone: iOS 14 or higher
If you have a phone that no longer supports these versions, you won't be able to play Ingress without switching to another phone.
Niantic also notes that beta versions of Android and iOS are not officially supported and Ingress may not work on them.

Update to Ingress Minimum Requirements
Starting with the release of Ingress 2.95, the OS versions of Ingress will be increasing.
With their latest blog post, Niantic has announced that, since their last update on cheating in their games, dating back to the beginning of 2021, they've "invested in becoming better at observing cheating behaviours, and can now more reliably pinpoint these activities with higher speed and accuracy, preventing legitimate players from being punished incorrectly."
Because of this, the company will be ramping up enforcement against these behaviours across all Niantic games, and rolling out these new findings to their anti-cheat systems.
Niantic suggests that players read their player guidelines to clear any doubt about which behaviours are acceptable on Niantic Games.

An ADA refactor and a JARVIS virus bundle is available in the in-app store for 3000 CMU. There seems to be no purchase limit for this pack. Since Niantic put this bundle in the shop without any announcement, it is not known how long it will be available, but it will likely remain in the store for the duration of Kythera Anomaly Stage 3.
