As previously announced by the NIA, Machina appears to be making it's resurgence!

Agents have already tried interacting with the newly infected Machina Portals and found that no relevant difference is immediately observable, but we are monitoring the situation and will advise if anything new surfaces.

Editor's Note: The following represents views expressed by community members and doesn't necessarily reflect the position of everyone in the editorial staff of IUENG. However, these concerns appear to resonate with a significant portion of the Ingress player base.

Part of the Ingress Community voices concerns about the recent Anomaly Badge changes

A Reddit post published a few days ago by community members sRamsli and Dremosdur, in representation of part of the Ingress Community, highlights concerns about Niantic Spatial's changes to the Ingress anomaly badge system. The key issues they highlighted include:

- The removal of recharge rooms from anomaly badge qualification
- The new point-based system allowing badge earning through daily activities rather than actual anomaly participation
- Lack of communication and community consultation before implementing these changes
- Insufficient community representation following the departure of key community managers.

Niantic's Tintino announced an early stop to the current Wayfarer Challenge!

Due to the Wayfarer Community's effort, the backlog queue has reduced significantly, causing many locations around the world to exhaust nominations and edits to review, which, in turn, were the cause of errors and slowness to Wayfarers.

Due to this, the end of the challenge has been pulled back to April 22nd, 2025 @ 5:00 PM PDT, in less than 2.5 hours.

To compensate for this, the individual rewards have been tuned and now, for example, the tick on the OPR Live medal can be obtained with 400 reviews instead of 500.

Niantic has released Update 2.165.1 into the App Stores.

With this update, the team is preparing to move from Niantic to Niantic Spatial, which also includes the removal of Facebook as a login method.

If you haven't yet linked a Google or Apple account as a login method, do not update Ingress and link one now. This is your last chance to do so, if you keep your Ingress account linked to Facebook only you are at risk of losing your account permanently. We once again invite you to check if your Google and Apple account actually work when trying to log in. If you're unsure how to link another login method, you can read through this post: https://t.me/IUENG/7086

If you already have linked either Google or Apple as a login method and you're confident that you can log in via these methods then you are good to go and can update.

On the hunt for Ingress contributions - Who still has them?

Some Wayfarer Ambassadors have noticed that their contributions from Ingress which were submitted before the cutoff a while back did not yet get decided on, even despite the challenge.

Do you still have something open that you submitted through Ingress? Is your submission stuck in NIA voting? Then let your nearest Wayfarer Ambassador such as @Kawin240 or @Tehstone know! Don't take too long though, as no one really knows when the line will be drawn and the final Ingress sync will happen.

🍄 Blue and Green Mushroom Field Art in Warsaw!

Agents from both Factions in Warsaw joined forces once again to create yet another masterpiece composed of Links and Fields!

The art piece depicts a mushroom, and the inspiration for this design comes from Pikmin Bloom, which some of the Agents who were involved in the operation are fans of.

Many thanks to these Agents for sharing their efforts with us! Congratulations on another wonderful work of art!

Ingress Support System Migration

As you may be aware, the migration from Niantic to Niantic Spatial brought some changes in the process of submitting support tickets and receiving an answer to them. In particular, Agents have reported that it is no longer possible to open a ticket on ingress.com/support. Agents currently need to use the helpchat via the settings of the Scanner instead, although the maximum wait time for these tickets was raised to 14 working days.

As Niantic Spatial won't have access to Niantic's support system anymore, a new system based on Zendesk is being deployed, which can be found at support.ingress.com.

This website is currently devoid of any support articles but does include a dedicated form for reporting Agents for Spoofing, multi-accounting or usage of 3rd-party software. Please note that, as the form is not accessible from desktop without looking at the source code, we assume that the system is not meant to be used yet. So the only way to obtain support at the moment is using the helpchat via the Scanner.
The new system also comes with a few neat advantages, such as the creation of multiple tickets and the ability to view previously created tickets (provided a Zendesk account is created).

📰 More changes have surfaced, along with the above, due to the transition to Niantic Spatial: we are documenting them all on @IUENG_Extra! Come take a peek!

The full schedule of Ingress Events in Q3 2025, the +Delta Anomaly season, has been published!

July
5th: #IngressFS
13th: #Ingress2S
19th - August 3rd: +Delta Global Campaign: Reso

August
1st - 11th: Level 8 Week
2nd: #IngressFS
10th: #Ingress2S
16th: 🇲🇾🇺🇸 XM Anomaly at Malacca City, Malaysia and Portland, OR, USA

Continuing for this season is a single +Delta medal in three tiers which will be awarded to Agents "based on their performance in Anomaly battles, Global Campaigns, and other activities".

Notably, this Anomaly season does not include Skirmishes anymore.

There are some additional changes that have been announced. The weekly 2x 2sDay will be replaced with a monthly, 12-hour 2X AP bonus on the first Saturday of each month, running from 08:00 to 20:00 local time. As before this does stack with Apex, but not with other event bonuses.

With the transition to Niantic Spatial the team has been reduced significantly and as such, standalone Mission Days outside of Anomalies will be temporarily paused.

Finally, the locations for Q4 2025 XM Anomalies have been published:

18 Oct 2025 @Valencia, Spain and São Paulo, Brazil
25 Oct 2025 @Wellington, New Zealand and Houston, TX, USA
