Ingress Prime has been updated to 2.136.1! The update is currently slowly rolling out via the App Store and Play Store.

Changes have been made to the animations that play between menus making the scanner feel faster by shortening them. In addition, if there is a news pop-up when you start the scanner, you can now dismiss it by tapping outside of it instead of tapping on the "Close" button.

Specifically mentioned in the changelog for Android is a speculative fix for Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra users who saw constant crashes and other issues across their games (not just Ingress) which this update hopefully fixes.

A few days ago, Niantic nominated the new Wayfarer Ambassadors for 2024!

Tintino published the list with the names of the 12 new Ambassadors which will join the 12 colleagues from Cohort 2 in this very important role.

We have Breaaad, CarolFigueiraRS, DLuarca, ElfFromSpace, MegaTrainerRed, PaulingZubat, SerAmanda, Shilfiell, SpiritGold, Trollfarer, WoodWose and xLilPoundcake.

Ambassadors from Cohort 1 consequently end their service and are set to become Wayfarer Alumni: Traxi25, Akceptor, MaestroTino, BrightonDragon, DanielGuco, AgentMAenlight, fr34kz, Quartzleo, Gendgi, Tntnnbltn and tehstone.

A Forum Post was created to congratulate the newly appointed Ambassadors. Congratulate them here!

Many thanks to @PkmnTrainerJ for reporting!

@IUENG

We are receiving reports that Facebook is currently down. Due to this, there are currently issues with logging into Ingress using a Facebook account.

If you have already linked a secondary login method, use that method in the meantime to continue playing Ingress. Otherwise, you'll likely have to wait until Facebook recovers.

EDIT: We are also receiving reports that Google has issues as well. No problems with logging into Ingress have been reported yet, although this might change if the issues continue.

@IUENG

🔕 The Facebook issue seems to be resolved. Agents should be able to log in again slowly.

@IUENG

Thanks to the POCs for the Anomaly in Naha, Japan, we now officially know the name of the Q2 anomaly:

Buried Memories

The Buried Memories anomaly series will include at least four anomaly sites:

May 18th: Naha, Japan 🇯🇵
May 25th: Chicago, IL, USA 🇺🇸
June 15th: Kuching, Malaysia 🇲🇾, Budapest, Hungary 🇭🇺

Additional events like Cell Battles and Shard Nights have not been confirmed yet, but that doesn't mean that they won't happen! We'll have to wait until Niantic reveals further information about the anomaly series.

The Ingress website got a makeover!

Agents have reported that the ingress.com website has changed its style and is now sporting a very appealing new look!

The home page features the Ingress Prime trailer as well as screenshots from the game and photos from some live events. Additionally, both Factions and their ideals as well as some basics on the game's mechanics are also presented to visitors.

Links to some Ingress merch, the Intel Map and the News section are also present, but we couldn't find any link to the community forums or Ingress' Twitter account.

Check out the new look of Ingress' website at ingress.com and let us know what you think in the comments!

Many thanks to @PkmnTrainerJ for reporting!

@IUENG

Today, we would like to present another useful project made by the Ingress Community, for the Ingress Community: missionday.site!

Agent @DrJest has created a new website which proposes to be a repository for all Ingress Mission Day events and all of the information surrounding them: POC names, Social links, event schedule, directions, accommodation and so on...

This platform is cooperative, meaning that any POC willing to show information about their event on this website will be able to do so with editor access to a fully dedicated webpage at no cost!

We are eager to see this platform fill up with info about the future Mission Days (some basic info is already online for most)!
To get access to the site as POC, contact @DrJest or relay info about your Event to @carlobolla!

Visit it now at missionday.site!

Many thanks to @DrJest for his work on the website!

Agents, it's time to move!

@IUENG

Wayfarer has been updated recently to automatically and instantly accept edits to Wayspots that fix small spelling mistakes like capitalization errors as well as accepting certain new pictures. This continues the effort from Niantic to cut down on the waiting times for edits which in some cases can take even longer than new Wayspot submissions in the same area. If you have small edits to make, now is the perfect time!

Thanks goes to the members of our discussion group who found out about it after testing!

@IUENG

The third and final wave of the Cryptic Memories Cell Battles is over! Thanks to Agent @Danynad we were able to collect the cell scores for CP 34/35 of the Septicycle that just concluded and we are able to share them with you!

⚠️ These scores are from CP 34/35 and are unofficial until Niantic publishes the official results. We will update you when they are announced.

🇵🇹 Our editor, Agent @carlobolla is headed to Porto for the Anomaly Event of March 16th, and will be in the city from Friday morning!

If you find him, make sure to ask for an IUENG biocard and a piece of Italian candy! 🍬🇮🇹

We are looking forward to witnessing all the action from the last Anomaly Weekend of the Cryptic Memories series!
Best of luck to both Factions!

Niantic has released Update 2.137.1 to the App Stores!

Among the changes this time is a fix for the globe shown when starting the game. Now it'll once again be colored blue and green depending on the current gameplay state of the world.

An additional change was made to the Key inventory by making the scroll target easier to hit and thus making it easier to scroll. This change comes on the heels of another change a short while back where Niantic fixed the scroll bar to eliminate accidentally jumping in the list by tapping on the bar by accident.

@IUENG

With the preparation for the Anomaly in full swing, the November Lima program has sprung into action to observe the battle in Porto and Macau! If you're on ground, don't forget to hack the new NL-1331P or NL-1331M portals to gain a point towards the "NL-1331 Meetup" badge.
