Niantic has announced that, in an upcoming update, they will drop Ingress' support for 32-bit devices. This announcement comes shortly after the same decision was taken for Pokémon Go, and enables the development team "to streamline their development process and focus resources on supporting newer operating systems and technologies."
End of support is scheduled for June 2025.
On the source article, you can find some examples of devices that will not be supported any longer after this deadline.

The Global Challenge for the +Alpha Anomaly Series is starting on January 18th, in about one day depending on your timezone!
Agents will be able to complete a purposely-made Campaign to earn the 2-tiered +Alpha: Operation medal!
A doubt still remains about the distribution of Series Points for this Global Challenge since the rules for this series have not been published by Niantic yet, but if we take a look at the rules from the Erased Memories Series - which concluded in Q4 2024 - 200 Season Points were distributed based on the number of bounties completed by Agents of each Faction. We can expect something similar, although the final confirmation will come only once the rules are published, which we hope will happen in the next few hours.
We will keep you updated with news on the +Alpha Series rules as soon as we know more!

Niantic has released Update 2.158.1 to the App Stores!
This update optimized some calls that are made to drawing graphics, which should improve performance, as well as fixing some issues in the New Agents tutorial.
In addition, while not mentioned in the changelog, the main menu now colors the outer ring of the Dispatch/Dronenet button if there is an update related to it, adding to the already existing dot to the left of the button text.

The first Agents who completed the Global Challenge soon after its start were able to repeat all 3 assignments after a 24 hours cooldown.
The first reports from them, highlight that the quantities listed in the bounties keep increasing at a linear rate when the Campaign is repeated!
For example, let's consider the first "Obtain X +Alpha Op Points":

The recent wildfires in Los Angeles County have devastated multiple communities, with the Palisades and Eaton fires being particularly destructive in residential areas. Multiple homes have been destroyed as the fires spread through densely populated neighborhoods. The fire had spread to more than 23,000 and 14,000 acres of land respectively and are classified as one of the most destructive and deadly in this county, having killed 27 people and destroyed more than a thousand structures. As of today, the fires still have to be totally contained.
Among those affected by the damages are two valued members of our Ingress family from Pasadena - agents TroutShorty (Neal) and agentumlaut (Alexandra) have lost their home in these fires. In times like these, our community's strength lies in supporting one another. A GoFundMe campaign has been established to help them rebuild: https://gofund.me/4ff11ba6
If you are able to contribute, any support would be deeply appreciated. Our thoughts are with Neal and Alexandra during this difficult time.

Eligibility Level Update - Discussion
Niantic announced a reduction in the Access Level needed to participate in Wayfarer from Ingress.
According to Tintino's article on the Wayfarer Forum, the Access Level to Wayfarer has been reduced from L10 to L8 to allow more Agents "to contribute to the game and help build a more vibrant and engaging experience for everyone regardless if they live in major metropolitan cities or small rural communities" given the difficulty in reaching higher levels on Ingress for players who reside in rural areas.
A discussion on the topic is hosted on the Wayfarer Forums at this link: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/t/eligibility-level-update-discussion/71066
