⚠️PSA for Ingress Origins Subscribers⚠️

As part of the Ingress Origin kits, a subscription was offered that gave 10% off for each kit, as well as a deck box with the Agent name of the subscriber. This deck box was supposed to be delivered together with Kit 08, the last kit in the series. Both of these items were due for shipment at the end of October.

Despite the payments being processed in mid-October, many agents have not received their last kit or deck box. Agents that have opened support tickets with Niantic Supply were told that there has been an issue with the production of the personalized deck boxes and that they must be remade.

As it has been over three months since the kits were originally scheduled to be dispatched, Agents are taking to the forums to voice their concerns about the handling of the situation, as well as the relative silence of Niantic Supply. As Niantic Supply is not run by Niantic themselves, but the company Advoc8, the hope is that the comments on the forum make Niantic aware of the larger issue. If your kits and deck box are still missing, we encourage you to visit the thread below and voice your concerns.

Thread: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/22335/ingress-origins-deckbox-delay

✉️ You can also send an email to Niantic Supply directly and inquire about the status of your order via support@nianticsupply.com. Make sure to include your order number in the email.

Niantic has reported that they are aware of issues that cause Samsung S24 devices to crash while playing Ingress and are investigating the causes.

This is apparently not an issue that is specific to Ingress but is occurring across other non-Niantic apps and products too. As such, it is unknown if a fix is needed from Samsung as well.

If you have been affected by this issue, Niantic has opened a thread on the Community Forums in which you can add your name to the list of affected Agents. When commenting, make sure to include your device information.

Thread: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/22368/samsung-s24-crash-issues/p1

If you experience this issue it is recommended to use an alternate device for the time being.

New Media is dropping from the Portal Network and has revealed a new feature for Ingress: Bounties!

Bounties are a set of tasks that Agents can take on and complete for item rewards. These tasks rotate daily.

The NIA wants to activate the Bounties Program immediately, so we should expect it to be available in Ingress soon. A recent Twitter post from Brian has shown a new button on the map screen which very likely represents the Bounties feature, so the newest update most likely has added internal support for it already!

On Saturday, accompanied by the perfect weather, around 220 agents met for the first Mission Day in Halle (Saale) in Germany.

Under the motto "In love with Halle", 18 missions highlighted some of the city's beautiful and historic sights and the fantastic weather motivated many to complete even more banners. In the Ristorante Bella Italia, delicious food and great conversations could be enjoyed and a biocard set was distributed to all agents.

We sincerely hope you enjoyed the event and the city, and thank the organisers for bringing this event to the community!💡🗝

Niantic has added support for Apple Accounts to the Intel Map!

Agents that use their Apple ID to log into Ingress can now use the same Apple ID too log into the Intel Map without being forced to link an additional Google or Facebook account anymore.

Shortly after this addition, the IITC team released a new update for the IITC Mobile app, bringing us the new v0.37.2!

This release allows Google and Facebook login to function properly (although the latter is still being tested) but Apple ID users might want to wait for further fixes before trying to access IITC with it. We can expect this authentication method to be refined in the next releases.

You can download the IITC Mobile v0.37.2 update as a .apk file directly from the IITC website or via their F-Droid repository when available, since the application on the Google Play store is not updated anymore and is likely considered broken now.
