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)

@IUENG_Extra

The sale of Niantic games has been closed!

While Niantic and Scopely announced the sale a while back already, it didn't actually happen yet due to regulatory reasons. These reasons have now been resolved, and the split has now officially happened.

@IUENG_Extra

The +Theta Supporter badges are now available in the Scanner store for 30,800 CMU each!

@IUENG_Extra

It seems like Niantic is currently in the process of getting Recon ready and nominations and edits are disabled due to it. If you're trying to nominate via deep link the Scanner prompts you to link an email to your account. This message normally only appeared if you use Ingress with an Facebook account which only has a phone number linked to it.

@IUENG_Extra

If you had Nominations, edits or scans saved to Upload Later, don't reinstall Ingress as that will delete them. For now, keep the Scanner as is and they should hopefully reappear once the feature is re-enabled.

@IUENG_Extra

We're aware of an issue affecting Portal nominations and edits, Portal Scanning, and Overclock and we're investigating further. Thank you for your patience.

While Niantic did just post this update, Agents are reporting that the issue has been resolved! Restart your scanner and check if you can access Nominations, edits and your saved contributions again.

@IUENG_Extra

Agents on Reddit are reporting that it is currently not possible to change your Agent Name via a support ticket. Once we get confirmations that this option has beem reintroduced we will let you know.

SITREP: Operation "Żabie Pola 3"

On June 7th 2025, a team consisting of ~34 agents had covered the City of Kraków and some others in a beautiful 22 layer megafield.

MUs gained: ~41 Million
Length of the links: 244km, ~170km, ~260km

SITREP: (in polish) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WMOG9QhBAldtfl0pg6sVlJMwU8QKnoOndLK-keOj7DE/edit?usp=sharing

Congratulations Agents, we hope you had a fantastic time!

Niantic Spatial has updated their Terms of Service to align with the founding of the new company. Compared to the previous ToS under Niantic not much has changed aside from updating mentions from Niantic Inc. to Niantic Spatial Inc., however the following line has been added:

By making any User Content available through the Services you grant to Niantic Spatial a license to use your User Content, including without limitation in connection with the training of machine learning and AI models.

Quote slightly adjusted to make it more readable

The same adjustments have also be made to the Privacy Policy, including the addition of the AI module training notice. We also noticed that the following has been added in preparation for Niantic Spatial Recon:

You can choose to opt out of having your in-game username attributed on your Niantic Spatial Recon submissions across Niantic Spatial products by going to the Niantic Spatial Recon settings.

The Ingress team has not made accepting the new Terms of Service or Privacy Policy mandatory yet.

August, GA held a Mission Day together with a First Saturday this weekend! Agents from all around gathered to explore the city, solve the IFS passcode and hacked the NL1331-A portal that was invited to the event as well. Rounding out the weekend was the Second Sunday the next day.

We hope you had a lot of fun, Agents!

@IUENG_Extra

These new Terms are now enforced and need to be accepted before continuing to play Ingress.

@IUENG_Extra

Ingress is currently experiencing issues which may manifest with issues logging in or doing any action in game.

EDIT: Game seems to be recovering.

Tangentially related, we have heard reports that Portal Scanning is currently broken on Android 16 (available on certain Pixel devices).

@IUENG_Extra

Ingress is again experiencing issues which may manifest with issues logging in or doing any action in game. The intel map is also affected this time.

@IUENG_Extra

The outage this time does not seem to be the fault of Niantic Spatial as a ton of other services like Discord are also having issues, likely due to a Google Cloud outage.

@IUENG_Extra

Because I think its funny, here is a code for a VR Loadout that can be redeemed only one time once the Servers are back up. Keep an eye out on what Google does 👀

EDIT: Passcode seems to have been claimed!

According to Google the root cause of the outage has been found and measures have been applied, but is aware that some customers of their service are still having problems.

Very important update from Brian

https://xcancel.com/brianrose/status/1933253428995895337#m

@IUENG_Extra

Google has posted the newest update we are going to get for a while, stating that services have recovered everywhere except for products that are using the "us-central1" and "multi-region/us" region to which Ingress likely belongs to. Assuming service won't be restored before then the next update from Google is scheduled to be posted in 2 1/2 hours.

Some Agents have reported that they were able to log in, although it is still not possible to do any actions in the game and the portals are only loading very slowly.

@IUENG_Extra

It seems like the game is back again! The intel map is also loading again.
