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.

The NIA will be doing some maintenance to the Intel map starting in ~10 minutes. Maintenance is expected to last ~30 minutes. During that timeframe, Intel will be unavailable.

We will report back as soon as maintenance is over and the Intel map is back online.

The NIA has confirmed that maintenance is over and the Intel map is now available.

Niantic has released Update 2.162.1 into the App Stores!

The release notes mention the addition of the duplicate map during nominating new Wayspots which is already live on 2.161.1 as well. This update also fixes an issue which prevented Recursed Agents from accessing the Portal Nominations until they reach L8 again as well as boosting portal visibility when under multiple fields.

@IUENG_Extra

Niantic has sold Pokemon Go, Pikmin Bloom and Monster Hunter Now to Scopely, as reported by us a short while back.

While these three games were specifically mentioned, Ingress is not mentioned and is not part of the deal, remaining with Niantic instead.

@IUENG_Extra

The sale also includes Campfire and Wayfarer.

"Ingress is not just a game"

"Niantic has reached an agreement for Scopely to acquire Niantic’s Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now games. To learn more, please see our announcement here. For Ingress, our Agents already know that Ingress is not just a game; it’s a global community.

Ingress will continue to be owned and operated by a new startup, Niantic Spatial, and the Enlightened and Resistance will continue their battle for global control using the Ingress Scanner. Our already-announced +Theta XM Anomalies, Global Challenges, and Mission Days will continue as planned.

Thank you for your continued support over the last 12 years of Ingress. There are still many more adventures on foot to embark on, Mind Units to capture, and Portals to explore.

To Ingress forever,

— The Ingress Team"

Correction: The last Bounty is

We mistakenly copied the 4th task and just added a 6 without double checking, sorry about that!

@IUENG_Extra

Confused which part of Niantic goes to Scopely and which goes to Niantic Spatial Inc.? We have tried to create a diagram which shows who gets what and how each product should interact with each other based on our current understanding.

Note that the dotted lines are not confirmed, but will likely happen.
