Users using Facebook to log into services from Niantic currently have problems when trying to do so as the login application Niantic registered with Meta has been deactivated for unknown reasons.

This seems to only affects Websites that allow you to log in with Facebook using Niantics unified login screen (Niantic ID), such as the Intel map, the Mission creator and Wayfarer. Logging into the scanner does not seem to be affected.

If you need to access one of these sites you'll need to either use a connected Google or Apple account instead for now. If you have none connected you can do so via the settings in the Scanner.

Agents are reporting that the +Alpha Anomaly in Yokosuka was captured by the Enlightened!

The detailed scores will be posted on @IUENG as soon as they are posted by Niantic.

@IUENG_Extra

NIA Researchers have detected a Shard battle of unknown potential in Mikasa Park (Yokosuka, Japan) on 16 Feb, 1530 to 1630.
Mobilize, engage, investigate, and contain.

**Note: this Shard battle does NOT impact “+Alpha” season scores.
**A Restocking Portal will be available in Mikasa Park from 15:20 to 16:30.

This problem has been seemingly resolved and you can now log in with Facebook again.

Niantic has released Update 2.161.1 into the App Stores!

Included in the fixes this time are a fix for when you use the "Manage" button with Media, a fix for the screen when leveling up being too dark as well as a fix for the Kinetic Capsule menu screen where some menu items overlapped each other.

On Android only, some Google Play Integrity API settings were updated to address Agent-reported login issues.

@IUENG_Extra

An additional, not mentioned change has changed the text for the item denoscriptions from left bound to center bound.

The German translation has also received some updates, renaming and fixing various translations.
