Ingress has released Update 2.164.1 into the App Stores!

The team is preparing to move over to Niantic Spatial! This update was released to aid with the transition and likely has a few code changes for that. After this update the team has mentioned that the regular 2 week update cycle will likely be disrupted for a bit, and the next update will remove Facebook as a log in method.

@IUENG_Extra

Even though the Wayfarer split is happening today a new Wayfarer Challenge has been announced, with an OPR Live badge tick as a reward for Ingress Agents!

@IUENG_Extra

4 hour warning! In about one burnout period Niantic will disable new submissions and edits for Portals and Missions. This will be your last chance for a while to directly affect the game board until a new system is in place.

@IUENG_Extra

Nominations, edits, Campfire and the Niantic Profile have been removed from the Scanner. Scans and reporting Portals as invalid still work.

@IUENG_Extra

✔️ OPERATION CLEAR THE BACKLOG

Brian Rose, Game Director for Ingress shared a post on Twitter asking for help clearing out the backlog of Portal Nominations before the move to Niantic Spatial!

What rewards are you aiming for?

If you have problems logging in or linking accounts, remember that we are about 30 minutes into a 6 hour maintenance where some stuff is suspended. This also includes distance tracking.

After these 6 hours are over everything should work as normal again.

@IUENG_Extra

Logging into the Mission Authoring Tool has been switched to Niantic Spatial, and Facebook has been removed as an option. As of right now, the Intel Map still points to Niantic Inc. with Facebook as an option.

@IUENG_Extra

This change has also been brought over to the Intel map! As such, it is no longer possible to log into Intel with a Facebook login.

This change has also temporarily broken the login flow when using IITC Mobile via the app. If you're still logged in, it should continue to work, but until an update is released it seems like you will not be able to log into IITC.

@IUENG_Extra

Thank you for your patience. Account linking and unlinking with Sign in with Google and Sign in with Apple, new account creation, and Adventure Sync distance tracking and nearby alerts are back online. Please note that you will need to re-enable Adventure Sync via the Ingress Settings menu.

The Ingress Mission Creator Tool is currently still offline and we’ll continue working to re-enable it in the next several days. New Portal nominations and edits have been paused until our new solution under Niantic Spatial is ready.

New Ben Jackland 2025 Bundle now available in store.

@IUENG_Extra

New Zealand has received the +Theta Campaign! Here are the tasks you have to complete to gain value points for your faction.
---
Assignment 1/1
Complete 5 out of 7 Bounties to advance
Reward: 300 +Theta Tokens

- Recharge 100,000 XM
Reward: 100 +Theta Tokens

- Capture any 50 Portals
Reward: 100 +Theta Tokens

- Deploy 200 Resonators
Reward: 100 +Theta Tokens

- Upgrade 100 Resonators (Note: upgrading your own Resonators don't count!)
Reward: 100 +Theta Tokens

- Use 10 Beacons (Note from the news post: "including Frackers, Fireworks and all types of Portal Beacons")
Reward: 100 +Theta Tokens

- Upload 2 Portal Scans
Reward: 100 +Theta Tokens

- Hack 80 Portal Keys
Reward: 100 +Theta Tokens

@IUENG_Extra

There are currently conflicting reports on whether single Campaign Bounties reward +Theta Tokens. If you already have the Campaign and can compete a Bounty, please check your stats in your Agent profile for the amount of tokens you get after completion of one Bounty!

@IUENG_Extra

We can confirm that completing a Bounty will award you with 100 +Theta Tokens. We are assuming that completing the Campaign will award you with 300 Tokens which would add up to the announced 1000 Tokens per Campaign, however we were not able to confirm this yet.

@IUENG_Extra

There are reports from Agents globally that there are issues regarding the Daily Bounties, such as issues being assigned new Bounties and claiming the AP rewards.

@IUENG_Extra

Niantic is aware of the bug and is investigating.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ingress/s/xz0h7ZAY3N

@IUENG_Extra

The NIA is aware that the Daily Assignments are not functioning as intended and is investigating the matter.

The Campaign now shows Tokens as a reward, which confirms that one Bounty awards you 100 Tokens and compelling the Assignments gets you 300 additional tokens!

Thanks to @oscarc1 for the heads up.

@IUENG_Extra

It seems like the daily Bounties have switched to award Tokens as well, even if it's not Saturday for you yet! If you want to gain a small head start make sure to complete the Bounties for Friday if you haven't already. Previously completed bounties will not award Tokens.

@IUENG_Extra

Daily Bounties should now be enabled for all Agents. Additionally, the Mission Creator Tool is back online. Thank you for your patience.

When you restart the Campaign the Bounties increase by 50%, which means for the second run you need to do the following:

- Recharge 150,000 XM
- Capture any 75 Portals
- Deploy 300 Resonators
- Upgrade 150 Resonators
- Use 15 Beacons
- Upload 3 Portal Scans
- Hack 120 Portal Keys
