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.

All details are available at the original source: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/t/thats-a-wrap-the-global-wayfarer-review-challenge-is-ending-ahead-of-schedule/88861

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.

๐Ÿ„ 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).

๐Ÿ“ฐ 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

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

August
1st - 11th: Level 8 Week
2nd: #IngressFS
10th: #Ingress2S
16th: ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ XM Anomaly at Malacca City, Malaysia and Portland, OR, USA

September
6th: #IngressFS
14th: #Ingress2S
20th: ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง XM Anomaly at Denpasar City, Bali, Indonesia and Cambridge, United Kingdom

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 Sรฃo Paulo, Brazil
25 Oct 2025 @Wellington, New Zealand and Houston, TX, USA
15 Nov 2025 @Taoyuan, Taiwan and The Hague, Netherlands

Ingress will get its final Wayfarer sync today at 1800 UTC!

Any nominations, edits and removals that have been accepted until then will be reflected in Ingress, so if you still have stuff on hold we encourage you to push it into the queue now for a chance to still get decided on in time. After 1800 UTC today any remaining undecided contributions will not be available in Ingress anymore even if they get accepted after that point.

Note that while the Ingress database will recieve the last sync today it won't actually be reflected in the Scanner until next week.

Brian has posted a comment on Reddit a few days ago that Nominations and edits through Ingress will be re-enabled soonโ„ข. These contributions will be sent to the new program Niantic Spatial is currently working on.
