⚠ Errata corrige

The scores announced by Brian Rose on the stage at the After Party in Kobe did not take into account the 20% bonus in the Battle Beacon Challenge that was awarded to the Enlightened After their victory in the Urban Ops, and Niantic has fixed the scores on their website. Here are the correct scores.

As of 16:38 UTC today, the last Machina portal has decayed. There will be no more Machina spawns or spreads until after the first round of the Discoverie Anomaly next month.

Agents are reporting mixed results when capturing Portals that Machina decayed on, with some reporting that it counts as reclaiming it (+1 on the Machina Portals Reclaimed stat and +1331AP) with others reporting that it doesn't count.

@IUENG

Niantic has just revealed the playboxes for the upcoming first phase of the #Discoverie Anomaly, scheduled for October 14th, on the Intel Map! Here are the cities taking part in this phase:

Niantic has published the release notes for Ingress Prime v2.125.1!

In this release, the Niantic Profile you can access through your Agent Profile has been updated to the latest version. In addition, a speculative fix has been implemented regarding some XM animation issues.

Source: https://ingress.com/news/2-125-1-release-notes/

@IUENG

PSA for Agents on Android: In the newest update to Ingress (2.125.1), for some devices, it appears as though the permissions to use your media storage (Photos & videos + Music & audio) have been removed from the application.
For this reason, if you try to perform any scan, you will see this notice.

We recommend that Android-using Agents DO NOT update to this version if they scan portals frequently, until Niantic fixes this issue.

Bug report: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/21961/2-125-1-scan-not-possible-due-to-removed-storage-permissions/p1

@IUENG

Niantic has released version 2.125.2, which fixes the permissions issues when scanning or attempting to submit images from your gallery. If you were affected by this problem, you can now update the scanner.

@IUENG

Telegram recently released an update which allows channels to posts Stories once a certain number of "Boosts" have been applied to it. At the moment, only Telegram Premium subscribers can choose to boost a channel.

IUENG is currently exploring channel stories as well! If you are a Telegram Premium subscriber, we'd appreciate it if you could boost our channel via this link:

https://t.me/IUENG?boost

Our current idea is to post reminders about events, SITREPs of both factions and other stuff that doesn't fit into the main channel as stories! If you are not a fan of stories, that means you can just mute them without worrying that you might miss something important.

You might notice "Levels" when you boost the channel. At the moment, each Level allows us to post one additional story per 24 hours, so Level 1 is 1 story, Level 2 is 2 stories and so on. Even if we get higher levels, we don't expect to post more than 2 stories per day at most.

At the moment, this is just an experiment! Depending on the feedback to the stories as well as our own experience, we might choose to stop posting stories in the future.

@IUENG

🔕 In case you can't read the above post because you don't have the latest Telegram version yet or you are using a 3rd-party client that wasn't updated yet, don't worry! The post is about channel stories on IUENG and has no direct impact on your day to day Ingress gameplay, so you are not missing any important updates 😊

@IUENG

Niantic has released Update 2.126.1! The normal Release Notes have not been posted on the news blog, but the notes on the App Store mention various bug fixes and performance improvements.

If you get the update and notice something different, let us know in the comments!

Niantic has released an Mission Authoring FAQ a few hours ago which details things such as how long it takes to review a mission, the Fast Track system for First Saturday and Second Sunday missions, an appeal process for certain rejected missions (e.g. using an image that isn't yours, but you have permission to use it) and tips on what to do when a mission is rejected. The FAQ also mention that Agents that keep resubmitting rejected Missions without trying to fix the issues for which they were rejected might be suspended from creating Missions.

If you are regularly submitting Missions or are running into issues during the review process, you should read through the article below!

The Wayfarer 'All Aboard' Challenge has officially concluded, and participants should be receiving their rewards in this period and by October 18th.

Throughout the challenge, a remarkable total of 151,459 nominations were successfully reviewed, and 44,189 dedicated explorers took part.
This means that Reviewers were granted access to the newly introduced Tier 4 rewards having evaluated such a high number of nominations from Italy, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, and Spain (countries had to be added to the original list since nominations ran out!).

For those eagerly awaiting their rewards, it's worth noting that reward codes will be delivered via email. Wayfarer Upgrades, part of the individual rewards, will be automatically credited to the profiles of all eligible participants. Keep an eye on your inbox!
