Niantic announced today that they will shut down the Community Forums which are currently used to report bugs, amongst other things. With this closure the community will lose the option to search for bugs and their current status. While you will still be able to report bugs to Niantic via the help chat, we thought it would be a shame to not have a place where all bug reports are collected.
As such, we are launching our first alpha of the Community run Bug Tracker! You can use this page to quickly search through bug reports submitted by other users as well as submit bug reports yourself (if you are logged in)!
Check it out here: ingress.plus/bugs
⚠️This is the first version of the Bug Tracker upon which we will build on. New features such as attachments, comments, upvoting and a search will be added soon.
❗️This Bug Tracker is run by the community, not by Niantic! While we hope that Niantic does take a look at it from time to time, the main purpose of this tool is to provide Agents with an overview of current bugs, not to send reports to Niantic.
We are looking forward to your feedback and suggestions in the comments and in out discussion group! Any coding help is also deeply appreciated if you can help out👨💻

The Bug Tracker has received an update! You can now comment on bug reports and format both the reports themselves and the comments.
As with the Bug Tracker itself, this is just the first version of the comments, so do let us know if you have feedback or suggestions. If you want to try out comments, you can head to this test report to play around with them: https://ingress.plus/bugs/4fgxkh9l2sl91tz
Please do note that we expect you to follow Niantic TOS and Player Guidelines. Should Bug Reports or Comments be submitted which break these rules, you will be banned and your account will be deleted.

Time for some updates and additions!
With the Ingress forums about to shut down we have teamed up with @DrJest to archive the most up-to-date state of it so you don't have to worry about losing important discussions or comments! You can browse through it at community-archive.ingress.plus
The Bug Tracker got an update as well! You can now upvote bugs that you have encountered by tapping on the thumbs up in the Bug Report list. In the future this will also automatically change the "New Report" tag to the "Confirmed by community" tag once the Bug Report receives enough upvotes. Additionally, you can also now see how many comments a Bug Report has!
If you decide to support the project via Ko-Fi you will now receive a special glowing username that is shown on the site! Make sure to add your Ingress.Plus username to the support message on Ko-Fi or contact either @dedo1911 or @InvestigateXM with a screenshot so that we can assign the glow to your profile.
Supporting this project is entirely voluntary! All of the donations only go towards development and hosting costs and all future features will remain free. The only perk you will get for supporting Ingress.Plus will be the glowing username (and our thanks, of course!)
☕️: https://ko-fi.com/dedo1911
You can also support us by providing us with your coding skills! Check out our GitHub page and join the Dev Telegram group to coordinate 🧑💻

Additional small changes have been made under the hood such as changing how the time since an action is shown as well as adding faction logos to the usernames of Agents.

Boost this channel to help it unlock additional features.
Nothing to see here, surely.
After the giveaway was posted earlier today it seems like this channel got flooded with bots trying to win the giveaway for themselves. To prevent this we have made the channel private until next week and have removed all accounts that we believe were bots. If you know someone that actually plays Ingress and who wants to join this channel please send them to @Ingress_Plus, which has been converted to a waiting room, so that they can be added manually :)
If you are already part of this channel, please don't join the waiting room to keep it clear of chatter and notifications 🙏
Once the giveaway is over and the winners have been chosen we will revert this change and make the channel public again.

We have good news and bad news.
Good news: Niantic has awarded three agents with the rare Edgar Allan Wright medal for their work on the Ingress Report!
Bad news: The ripples created by this rare event has knocked the site offline.
We're aware and are working on bringing the site back online as fast as possible :)
UPDATE: Site should be back up :)

Heads up, we are turning off our TG Proxy for the time being!
Almost 3 months ago we created a dedicated Telegram Proxy in response to Spain threatening to block Telegram entirely, which would have impeded communications between Agents massively. In the end, the Spanish courts however have suspended the block and Telegram continues to be accessible as normal.
While the proxy was used by around 115 Agents during the first day that number has dropped to just 24 as of yesterday, which is why we'll turn it off for the time being. Should the need arise we can easily reactivate it, but for now it'll get some well deserved rest.

Heads up for all Spanish agents!
A Spanish court has ordered a temporary block of all Telegram services due to a lawsuit over copyrighted material. Once this block is in effect, Telegram will be unusable.
We want to make sure that Agents can still communicate…

The NIA has attempted another sabotage on our servers by cutting the fiber cables near our location.
Until the cables are replaced our website will likely be offline or at the very least impacted by this. Our dev will be trying to bring the server back up at least partially later today.
Sorry for the inconvenience 🙏

Time for some updates!
- Ingress.Plus now has a dedicated homepage quickly linking to the main parts of the Website. The Badges have been moved to a subpage, so make sure to update your bookmarks if you had it saved!
- There is now a basic Verification system in place to verify Agent names and factions. As it is still done manually, Verification can not be requested and is done at the discretion of the Admins. Your verification status can be seen on your Profile or on the new, dedicated Verification page.
- The Badges themselves have gotten some updates. The page now uses lazy loading which means that the badge images are only loaded once you scroll to them, saving data and speeding up loading drastically.
- Clicking on a category title will now copy a link to the clipboard which can be used to quickly jump to that specific category (for example: https://ingress.plus/badges#festive-medals). Thank you @Ninjaburger for adding this feature via GitHub!
- Badge tiers can now be locked independently from the badge itself. Certain Badges for which it is impossible to get certain tiers now have these tiers locked (GORUCK badges and Second Sunday). Let us know if you have gotten a tier which is currently locked so we can unlock it!
---> Kind of related, but the Edgar Allan Wright 2015 badge has been locked as well due to its rarity. We want to have the stats be as accurate as possible, so if you are an EAW badge holder please contact @InvestigateXM so he can assign it to you on the site. Unconfirmed holders have been deleted.
- Badges which are or were only available with C.O.R.E. now have a special C.O.R.E. mark in the badge details.
- The Bug Tracker has also gotten some updates. You can now add reproduction steps when creating a Bug Report if you know how to reproduce a bug. This step is optional.
- You can now upload up to 5 images when creating a Bug Report. These will be shown in a fancy new window when clicking on them in the Bug Report. You need to be verified to upload images.
- Other various changes and fixes include adding an "About" page, adding new sites to the Resource page, fixing an visual issue on iOS regarding checkboxes, moving the Agent name in the header to the right on PC as well as adding your Google profile picture to it, and other stuff
Do you want to support us? You can do so in two ways!
- Take a look at our GitHub page and see if there are any feature requests that catch your eye. The site is open source so everyone can add features or fix bugs for it: https://github.com/dedo1911/ingress-plus
---> Make sure to also join the Dev TG group: https://t.me/+1hrYWn8qWVk0NTgy
- You can buy us a Ko-Fi to support ongoing server costs, which will grant you a special shining username on the site: https://ko-fi.com/dedo1911
If you see any bugs or have any ideas for new features, let us know!

How do I verify myself?
- At the moment you cannot verify yourself.
Verification is a manual process which requires our Admins to be online at a PC and to have time to process it, and as such, Verification is generally closed and cannot be requested by users.
In the future, there will be an automatic way to gain "Basic" verification with "Advanced" verification continuing to require Admins.
Please, do not message the Admins to ask for verification! Every time you ask automated verification will be pushed back by a day.*
*citation needed
What are the benefits of Verification?
- You will be able to upload images to new bug reports.
At the moment, the only benefit of Verification is that you can attach up to 5 images to a new bug report on our Bug Tracker. If you do not plan to write bug reports then the Verification is currently not needed for you.
But I still really want to be verified!
- Join our Ingress.Plus group chat.
From time to time, Admins may have the time to verify people while on PC. In that case, they'll post into the group chat that verification is currently open. Reply to that message and you'll recieve instructions via a private message.
