At the start of January, we have opened a survey in which we asked Agents that were subscribed to this channel for their feedback regarding how the channel is run as well as how the channel could be changed. We have read through every single submission and will therefore trial through some changes based on your feedback.
Read through this article to see how Agents have answered as well as our thoughts and reasoning behind the changes we want to try out:
https://telegra.ph/IUENG---2024-Feedback-Results-01-28
If you only want to know what is changing for now:
🔸Try to bring more community-driven content on @IUENG, such as Agent interviews at events
🔸Open applications for new writers to address bias and timezone problems (soon™)
🔸Move Update Notes, standalone Polls as well as non-Ingress news from Niantic to @IUENG_Extra
🔸Pay extra attention to keep posts impartial: for example, not declaring a faction as winner of an event/Anomaly before its end, even though mathematically it could already be called
🔸Created a way for Agents to give anonymous feedback on our posts as well as appealing a ban from the comments/Discussion group via the @IUENG_Submission_Bot
🔸Add rule to the comments/discussion group rules for agents to limit toxic or excessively sarcastic comments to the members of the opposing faction. This will allow Agents to celebrate their faction, comment fairly on the opponents and enjoy a safe environment in the group

2025 is well underway! With almost an entire year before us, we want to ask you again like last year: What are features you would like to see added, changed or removed to and from Ingress?
In addition to that, we have also collected a few ideas from around the community and last years survey of which we want to know your feelings of. You will be presented with a list of feature ideas for which you'll decide if you want to see them added to Ingress or not.
As an incentive, we are giving away 5 VR Loadout cards amongst all Agents that complete the Google Form and leave their Telegram username in the last field! After we close the Form we will randomly select 5 Agents that submitted their Telegram username and will message them with their Loadout.
⚠️ As always, do note that we have no relation to Niantic. This form has been created by Agents and we cannot guarantee that Niantic will see the results.

Agent @PkmnTrainerJ from the Ingress Insights Podcast will hold an interview with voice actress Erin Fitzgerald who played Carrie Campbell in the 1218 universe!
During this interview, they will use this opportunity to answer questions that have been asked by Agents on a dedicated Reddit thread. The questions will be checked by Erin beforehand, and they are able to decline/delete any they can’t answer or don’t know, so leave your questions accordingly.
You'll have until 21st February to come up with some questions. If you have a question you want Erin to answer, leave a comment on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ingress/s/hsxIZ1K6ec

We are looking for new writers!
IUENG is the largest cross-faction news channel on Telegram, bringing you the latest Ingress news as fast as possible. As we have grown over the last 8 years the team behind it has largely stayed the same. We finally want to extend that team and include more Agents from around the world and different factions to help us out in the delivery of timely and unbiased posts.
Specifically, we are looking for Agents that want to help the IUENG project, that want to share news to all players while potentially making them available outside of our normal European timezone postings and that have a passion for the game.
Note that helping out the channel is voluntarily. As much as we would love to, we cannot compensate you for you time, be it with medals or items. On the flip side, there are no requirements or quota that you need to hit.
If you want to help out, head over to this form: https://forms.gle/wZ8spv8EYR4Ty8yr6
If you have questions, ask in the comments!

Reports keep coming in from Yokosuka, where two challenges have already been completed!
The first one, a relay race passing heavy backpacks between members of the team, was won by the Enlightened!
The second one, which had Agents draw glyphs with their bodies, was won by the Resistance!
As such, the score is currently tied, 1-1!

So many Agents from both Factions battled for three hours in the Japanese city for the inaugural anomaly Event of the +Alpha Series, and plenty of fun was had despite a couple issues with the game being reported!
We are now waiting on the final results to be released by Niantic. Usually, at Ingress Events in Japan a live announcement is made by Niantic at the After-Party.
