In a chat with an Agent on social media, Brian Rose has stated that both the Ingress and the Wayfarer teams are aware of the issues with syncing between Portals and Wayspots, especially regarding Portal Photos.
He declared that "a few different issues with Portals not syncing properly with Wayfarer" were detected, so it will take some additional time from the development teams for the issue to be solved. Brian made it clear that the root cause is both on the Ingress and the Wayfarer side.

FevGames has announced the return of the new and improved On-site Ingress First Saturdays!
There are a few changes compared to on-site IFS events from 2019.
๐ธAttendance verification
To verify your attendance at the events, you'll be required to check in with your local IFS organiser in person. You will also be required to earn at least 10.000 AP during the Event.
๐ธDecoding Challenge
During the Event, 11 Portals around the Base Portal listed on the FevGames website will drop media items.
Keep track of them and their origin Portal, follow the Scavenger Hunt guide provided by your local organisers and win a valuable passcode!
๐ธ Restocking Portals
30 minutes after the end of the event, two Portals at your Restocking location will have Frackers deployed on them. You can choose to coordinate with your fellow Agents to have one ENL P8 and one RES P8 to refill your inventory!
Online events will remain available!
Event verification requirements are about the same as for IFS@Home, including submission of the group photo, the participant spreadsheet with participation checkmarks and passcode verification.
More details, including the Organiser's Guide to IFS Events are available at the following link:

Niantic has announced the retirement of the Quantum Capsule and it's replacement with Rare Kinetics Capsules.
The Quantum Capsule will no longer be hackable from Portals, and passcodes that included a Quantum Capsule will now return a Rare Kinetic Capsule in its place.
Niantic stated that the contents of any existing Quantum Capsules will be moved to the Rare Capsule.
The Rare Kinetic Capsule will also be available via the in-app Ingress Store at 2,000 CMU.

Niantic has released the update notes for Ingress Prime V2.108.1!
In this update a couple new features were introduced, such as increased precision on the hack cooldown timer, which will now display the exact seconds remaining!
Minor movements of Portals in Wayfarer will not break the links connected to the Portal (links will still be connected to the original position of the portal and will be destroyed when the portal is neutralized)
The Niantic Labs Settings menu will now host a new toggle to automatically confirm item pickup, making it easier to rapidly pick up items from the ground.
Finally, the layout of the game has been updated to better accommodate iOS's Dynamic Island and camera cutouts in general.
The only note about bugfixes concerns the crashes occurring during the "Report a problem" flow, which have been corrected.

MZFPK and the 2023 Anomaly Seasons โ Ingress
The MZFPK XM Event will take place on Saturday, 18 March globally.
As announced in Niantics latest news post, the "Roland Jarvis 2023" and the "Ollie Lynton-Wolfe 2023" loadout kits are now available in the store. Each kit costs 30800 CMU (Minimum: $20 / โฌ24 per badge) and includes the respective medal as well as some items. The kits are limited to 1 per agent.
These medals continue the trend of the characters seemingly being generated using AI. As with the PAC and Hank Johnson medals from the Epiphany Dawn anomalies as well as the Klue and K medals from Superposition, which are also using artwork generated by AI, this does not seem to indicate that new actors were hired. On the NL-1331 site for SXSW, we can also observe the backgrounds being generated by AI, which seems to mark a new trend within the Ingress's team.

During 2017 and 2018, Agents gathered in the Redwoods of California at Camp Navarro and on the castle Schloss Kaltenberg in Germany to team up and build so called "Portal Luminance Projects", sculptures that were brought into the game as portals with the unique opportunity to react according to the in-games state of the portal. Due to the immense work that went into them, Niantic preserved the portals and Portal Keys as memorabilia and moved them to Antarctica after the events were over, promising that these portals would never be deleted.
Now, almost 5 years later, these portals have been deleted. After a report of a player from another Niantic game on the Wayfarer forums, the portals were deleted by Niantic believing them to be a result of Wayfarer abuse. The community immediately challenged this decision with Niantic stating they overturned the decision 4 days later. However, over a week after advising the return of the portals, neither the portals or keys have returned to the scanner.
Agents that visited these events are understandably very angry and have repeatedly asked Niantic why the portals have not been brought back online yet, with a lot of them feeling betrayed and considering leaving the game. However, Niantic has yet to respond to these questions.
Have you visited one of these events or participated in building a PLP? You can voice your opinions and/or support of the restoration of the portals here: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/21058/camp-navarro-portal-removed-due-to-ignorance-of-wayfarer-team
EDIT - 14/02 18:00 UTC
Thia has responded to the concerns of the deleted PLP portals and has promised to get them back online as soon as possible.

Now, almost 5 years later, these portals have been deleted. After a report of a player from another Niantic game on the Wayfarer forums, the portals were deleted by Niantic believing them to be a result of Wayfarer abuse. The community immediately challenged this decision with Niantic stating they overturned the decision 4 days later. However, over a week after advising the return of the portals, neither the portals or keys have returned to the scanner.
Agents that visited these events are understandably very angry and have repeatedly asked Niantic why the portals have not been brought back online yet, with a lot of them feeling betrayed and considering leaving the game. However, Niantic has yet to respond to these questions.
Have you visited one of these events or participated in building a PLP? You can voice your opinions and/or support of the restoration of the portals here: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/21058/camp-navarro-portal-removed-due-to-ignorance-of-wayfarer-team
EDIT - 14/02 18:00 UTC
Thia has responded to the concerns of the deleted PLP portals and has promised to get them back online as soon as possible.
