Agents have reported via our Submissions Bot, that Portal Attack e-mails are now being delivered from a different address.

The mailbox that is sending such notifications has been migrated to Niantic Spatial and its address is now the following: ingress-support@nianticspatial.com
If you've set up your mailbox with filtering or forwarding for these notifications, we advise to check your rules and update them to this new e-mail address.

@IUENG_Extra

Additionally, mails you currently get from Wayfarer for reporting portals as invalid now come from the address notices@recon.nianticspatial.com!

While not online yet, it looks like recon.nianticspatial.com will be the address of the new reviewing tool at Niantic Spatial! Keep an eye out on the address!

🛑 SYNC STOPPED?

As Ingress releases its first app update under the Niantic Spatial banner, some Agents have mentioned that accepted Wayspots have not synced as Portals.

Whilst we wouldn’t expect the maps to have been split yet, and this may be a glitch, do be aware that any acceptances on Wayfarer will stop syncing to Ingress at some point Soon™️

The automatic Wayfarer sync has been turned off and now only syncs manually!

About two days ago the daily sync between Wayfarer and Ingress was turned off, which means that new submissions and edits will no longer automatically sync to Ingress.

According to Niantic, "while the map will no longer sync automatically per its usual schedule, there will now be manual periodic map syncs between Wayfarer and Ingress".

Agents have reported that some portals around the world have stopped decaying.

The phenomenon with frozen portals have earlier been spotted during 2024 and the cause still unknown.

A frozen portal seems to be unable to decay, and decay cant be triggered by any known way, besides if its neutralised and re-captured.
They will however gain a new timestamp if interacted with.

Niantic have earlier been able to restore the process of decay for these portals, and the portals have experienced double decay during the same day when started to decay again.

The move to Niantic Spatial is ongoing and a few more changes as a result of it have been noticed.

Ingress has been moved from the "Niantic Inc." to the "Niantic Spatial Inc." developer account on both the Play Store and the App Store, together with Peridot and Scaniverse. Additionally, the copyright notice on the bottom of ingress.com now also mentions Niantic Spatial instead of just Niantic.
------
Bigger changes have been seen around the support system. The website ingresshelp.com has been shut down which was a mirror to ingress.com/support. While the latter is still active it has been noticed that the ability to open a support ticket via the website has been removed.

As Niantic Spatial won't have access to Niantics support system anymore a new instance has been created which can be found at nianticspatial.helpshift.com/hc/en/5-ingress/. For the moment, this is a copy of ingress.com/support, but is linked to in the Scanner store when the language is set to Japanese.
---
Finally, a completely new instance of a new support platform was created at support.ingress.com, using the Zendesk platform instead of the Helpshift platform Niantic has been using. This website is currently devoid of any support articles but does include a dedicated form for reporting Agents for Spoofing, multi-accounting or usage of 3rd-party software.

Zendesk allows the creation of multiple tickets which are saved to a Zendesk account, should you choose to create one, meaning you will be able to look back at past tickets and can create new ones without needing to wait for the previous one to be resolved.

SOON™️

Brian Rose, Director of Ingress, has shared a comment on r/Ingress, stating that Portal Nominations and edits will be re-enabled in their new solution “soon”

⏳ THE FINAL INGRESS SYNC

NianticTintino announced in the forums that the final Wayfarer > Ingress sync happens on May 23rd at 7pm UK time.

Whilst any new Portals and Edits will not reflect until the actual manual sync that Ingress does, we would encourage you to take anything off Hold to try and get it to the Ingress map.

Niantic has released Update 2.167.1 into the App Stores!

The team has fixed the issue with the Scanner rendering behind the notification bar. Content is now shifted down by approximately the height of the notification bar so it should no longer be obstructed.

According to reports from Agents, this also fixed the sound issues on iOS where Ingress would override whatever was playing.

Recursion has been a known feature for a long time now: Hit the button on your profile at L16, wait 4 hours, choose a faction and restart at L1. But what if you could disrupt that known sequence?

Agent @EMREOYUN found out that it is possible to skip the faction selection screen and continue to play with your previous faction basically endlessly from L1 again, all while "saving" the option to switch your faction to be used whenever you need. They have demonstrated this bug in a Sitrep after making their way back to L8 without selecting a team!

Agents are reporting that nominations and edits that have been made to Wayfarer via Ingress are now missing from the contribution management page.

While it only seems to affect some contributions for some, others are reporting that every single Ingress contribution has been either hidden or removed. It is currently unknown if this is an error or intended due to the Niantic Spatial/Scopely split.

If you're affected by this, feel free to add to this bug report on the Wayfarer forums: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/t/wayfarer-contributions-from-ingress-wiped-from-contribution-management/94515

Niantic has acknowledged the bug and is working on it: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/t/contributions-missing-from-wayfarer/94517

@IUENG_Extra

The transition to Niantic Spatial continues, with the Niantic Labs social media accounts being taken over!

In particular, the username of the NianticLabs account was changed to NianticSpatial, carrying over all the prior followers and posts, while the Niantic Labs account on Instagram had its name changed to Niantic Spatial Inc.

Thanks to @PkmnTrainerJ for the report!

@IUENG_Extra

Portal Nominations are now re-enabled so that we can begin building our queue of submissions to review before our new Niantic Spatial website goes live. Soon™. https://nianticspatial.com/recon

With the move to the new Recon system, the emails you recieve when submitting a contribution has also gotten a few visual changes!

Additionally, Spatial also created a dedicated Support page for Recon, although at the moment it is just a copy of the Wayfarer one: https://nianticspatial.helpshift.com/hc/en/8-recon/

@IUENG_Extra

And because we love to track each movement during the Spatial/Scopely split, the original Ingress Support page has also moved from the Niantic instance to the Niantic Spatial instance.

(Specifically from https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/3-ingress/ to https://nianticspatial.helpshift.com/hc/en/5-ingress)
