The playbox for Quebec City has now also been ornamented!

This issue has been seemingly resolved, although Agents report that their progress towards the Bounties has reset.

Agents are reporting that the "Earn 16 Glyph points" Bounty for the Daily Bounties has been changed to "Earn 15 Glyph Points", likely so it can be done with a single L8 hack.

The Ingress account on Bluesky answered a question from an Agent about buying CMU in a Web Store, circumventing the fees that Apple and Google impose on each in-app purchase. The team thinks it is an interesting idea and, as part of an experiment, is open to the idea of trying it out.

Other Niantic (now Scopely) games have opened a Web Store in the past with a bonus for players when buying through it. As an example, in Pokemon Go, when you buy the $20 PokeCoin bundle you get an additional 8% bonus online as opposed to the app (2500 coins plus an exclusive 200 coins extra in the Web Store).

This experiment could be quite close! As asked above, what would you like the bonus to be to get you to switch to a Web Store?

Are you aiming at hitting a specific AP milestone during Level 8 Week? Remember that you will not be able to gain odd AP amounts! Make sure to start the event with either even or odd AP depending on your goals.

Short of a single AP during the x2 AP period? The Ingress team has once again generated a passcode awarding you with exactly 1AP in case you want to hit an (un)even number but don't currently have one already.

Passcode: ITS2025ICANTEVEN

(Conversely, if you already have the desired (un)even AP number, do not redeem this passcode as it'll mess you up until after the Level 8 Week!)

Heard y'all wanted Recursion benefits 👀

Agents who have Recursed will gain 5 additional slots per Recursion, up to a maximum of 25 Recursion slots.

Niantic Spatial has released Update 2.172.1 into the App Stores! This Update will take a few days to be available for everyone.

With it comes the long awaited key sorting feature to sort by Faction! Selecting this option will display friendly Portals first, followed by Enemy, Machina and Neutral Portals in that order. Additionally, Portals with Resonators that have lost the most XM are displayed on top.

Additionally, a softlock was fixed when redeeming a Bounty in the Dispatch screen.
