At the end of the first phase of the Discoverie Anomaly, the Enlightened are in the lead by a handful of points, winning one site earlier today in Taichung.
The Resistance came out on top in both the primary site of Madrid and the satellite site of Curitiba bringing the total score of the Discoverie Anomaly to:
🟢 ENL 539 - 461 RES 🔵
Phase 3 will take place on November 19th but, in the meantime, the Discoverie Kinetic Challenge (Phase 2) is set to start in just a few hours! We are eager to see how the series will evolve! Keep following us for the latest updates!

The Discoverie Kinetic Challenge begins now!
From now until November 17th @ 23:59:59 UTC, Agents will be able to obtain the Discoverie Medal by claiming the items from a completed program (just walking the required distance isn't enough!) 30 times from Kinetic Capsules. Not only that, but the Faction with the most Agents reaching this goal will obtain a 1.331x multiplier on their score in Discoverie's phase 3!
A midpoint measurement will be taken at a time yet to be defined.
ℹ Hint: the tail of the challenge will bleed into the #IngressY11 celebrations event. From November 10th, Agents will be able to run 11x 1km Kinetic Capsule at the same time!
It's time to move! 🚶♂

🔵🟢 Operation Clear Field was completed successfully with the help of many smiling Agents from both Factions!
Our live correspondent from Madrid captured them posing for the ritual group picture.
All 14 teams completed enough tasks from the "hitlist" to cross the 30 point threshold, which means they can expect a count up on their Operation Clear Field badge within the next few weeks.
We hope you enjoyed the event! Tag yourselves in the comments!

It's not a bug, it's a feature! For the rest of the Discoverie series, which end in the middle of December, Agents will be able to create links shorter than 8km while under fields.
This change was previously only planned for the three weekends where agents compete for cities.

In May 2020, Virtual Ingress First Saturday Events were introduced to allow Agents to maintain this type of events even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Today, FevGames has announced that, starting in 2024, in-person Ingress First Saturday Events will return to be the only ones to award a First Saturday Badge point.
Onsite Decoding challenge, restock portals, event verification, and online registration will remain the same. However, the online decoding challenge, auto-scoresheet and group photo will become optional.
If your event site is forecast to experience any disturbance out of your control (weather, civil disturbances, etc...), it can be turned into an online event as late as 72 hours before the start, however it won't be eligible for IFS medal credit.
For any questions, join the global IFS telegram community!

Niantic has published the release notes for Ingress Prime v2.128.1!
In this release, the tutorial has been redesigned so new players will get to know the game and learn how to play before they visit their first portal. This change will go live once everyone has access to the new version and it is forced for everyone.
In addition, a bug fix was made regarding an error message when trying to edit a Portal if the player hasn't reached the required level yet.

The Niantic Wayfarer team recently announced another import of POIs from services such as Foursquare into the Wayfarer database as Wayspots in India. These Wayspots are supposed to begin showing up in various Niantic games starting on November 1st, depending on the inclusion rules of each game.
Niantic has also announced that these Wayspots will not be imported as Portals into Ingress. As these Wayspots will still be available in the Wayfarer database however, this might negatively impact Indian Agents when trying to submit new Portals in the future as these hidden Wayspots can still be used to mark new submissions as a duplicate or block Portals from going online due to the distance limit of 20m to other live Wayspots.
You can discuss the POI import on the Wayfarer forums here: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/48362/new-wayspots-coming-to-india

Niantic recently updated the requirements phones need to meet to enable and use Portal Scanning.
For iOS, the phone must simply be an iPhone 8 or a newer device running on iOS 14+.
For Android, the requirements are a bit more convoluted. An Android phone must run Android 9 or a newer version, support Google Play Services for AR and must have one of the following mobile GPU/CPU combination:
🔸ADRENO 630, Snapdragon 845
🔸ADRENO 640, Snapdragon 855, 855+, 860
🔸ADRENO 650, Snapdragon 870
🔸ADRENO 660, Snapdragon 888
🔸ADRENO 730, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
🔸ADRENO 740
🔸SAMSUNG XCLIPSE 920, Exynos 2200
🔸MALI-G72, Exynos 9810, Kirin 970
🔸MALI-G76, Exynos 9820, Kirin 980
🔸MALI-G77, Exynos 990, Kirin 985
🔸MALI-G78, Exynos 1080, Kirin 9000
🔸MALI-G710, Pixel 7 series
To check if your phone includes one of these SoCs you can head over to devicespecifications.com and search for your phone via the search bar at the top right. Once you have found your phone, check the "GPU" or "Chipset" line and compare it with the models listed here.
If your chipset is not listed here, your phone is not (officially) supported and cannot be used to scan portals, even if it was able to in the past. Niantic updated the framework Ingress uses for Portal Scanning in version 2.123.1 which came with stricter requirements for devices.

Niantic Wayfarer will be undergoing a 6 hour maintenance on Monday, October 30th, from 14:00 UTC to 20:00 UTC. During that time, the Wayfarer website will not be accessible and things like reviewing or editing nominations will have to wait until the maintenance is over.
This maintenance only affects the Wayfarer website. Actions taken in Ingress such as submitting new nominations or edits will work as normal.
