Flights to New Countries Starting NOW!
Hello Explorers, A huge Thank You to all of our challenge participants. As we near the last 24 hours of the challenge, we will be adding 2 countries into the challenge. We will be adding Brazil and Mexico as they’re the countries with the next in line with…
🫥 VANISHING COUNTER 🫥
In previous challenges, the Counter of nominations done disappears as soon as the Challenge ends so we don’t expect this time to be any different.
If you have reviewed enough for the highest tier, we recommend taking a screenshot to confirm this to Niantic if needed.
As a reminder, we have a little under 90 minutes left of the challenge.

The Wayfarer Challenge may be over but you can still freely move your bonus location.
This will be locked back down at 8pm UK time on Friday 24th, so don’t get stuck in a bonus location you don’t want to be.

⛔️ NO SYNC? 🚫
Several users on the Wayfarer forum have mentioned that some recently accepted Wayspots (which do meet inclusion requirements for the relevant games) are not being added to Ingress/Pokémon GO, so the sync to those games appears to be off.
It’s not known if this is a bug or intentional (perhaps due to the Chicago Buried Memories Anomaly as we have seen sync switches off for Anomalies in the past) as Niantic has yet to comment about it.
Don’t say bye bye bye to those Portals & PokéStops just yet. Once sync is back on, you should see them appear at the regular sync times for the games.

Wayfinder Rating Incident
We have identified and are addressing an incident that has been affecting the Wayfarer rating system since April 2024. This issue caused some explorers’ ratings to gradually decrease over time, unrelated to their actual Wayfarer reviews. We want to thank…
📈 RATINGS INCIDENT UPDATE 📈
NianticThibs shared an update regarding the Ratings Incident (see previous post on June 21st).
We have completed the two steps of the incident remediation:
Fixing the root cause The error which was impacting the rating algorithm has been fixed and guardrails have been put in place to prevent similar situation to happen in the future.
Restoring ratings Users whose Wayfinder ratings were negatively affected by the incident should have seen their ratings restored and increased (if applicable) to what it should have been had the incident not occurred.
We are currently working on the agreements compensation, but we do not yet have an ETA to share. Thank you for your continued patience.

🟢 ABUSE MANAGEMENT 🔴
Recently, Wayfarers have posted on the forums about mass removals (just on Pokémon GO) in Spain, Poland & Australia.
NianticAaron has clarified that this is intended and part of “…our abuse management process.” and that any Wayspots that are eligible to reappear on the Pokémon GO map will do so a few days after their review.
So don’t worry if you see things vanish on your map. Please also let us know if you see this happen in Ingress!
