Please visit the Play Store and ensure your app is up-to-date to continue playing uninterrupted. Keep in mind that Scanner [REDACTED] doesn't support Android 10. — Niantic Support (@NianticHelp) September 3, 2019 A handy-dandy Android 10 support reference for you: Niantic Product Support Pokémon GO Yes Harry Potter: Wizards Unite Yes Ingress Oops Am I mistaken in believing that Niantic is the only game publisher who thinks that their applications support the OS and not the other way around? https://niaoops.com/blog/portal-photos-missing/ Thu, 25 Apr 2019 04:00:02 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/portal-photos-missing/ In my day we didn’t need to submit portals through [Redacted], in my day there was only one way to submit portals and it was called EMAIL NIANTIC AND HOPE THEY READ IT! That’s right! You’d stand in front of some statue and keep taking photos of it and emailing them to Niantic until it appeared in the scanner! That’s the way it was and we liked it, we loved it! https://niaoops.com/blog/bug-in-2.21/ Wed, 24 Apr 2019 03:57:58 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/bug-in-2.21/ Niantic discovered a bug in Prime version 2.21 after they started rolling it out. It wasn’t a big deal though because it only affected agents ability to make links: Agents, we discovered a bug in the Ingress Prime 2.21 release that affects the ability to make links. We’ve decided to stop releasing 2.21 and roll features and bug fixes from this release into 2.22. Thanks for your understanding! — Niantic Support (@NianticHelp) April 25, 2019 https://niaoops.com/blog/erratic-portals-and-frackers/ Mon, 04 Mar 2019 03:50:53 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/erratic-portals-and-frackers/ Some portals continue to look like they have frackers on them well after the frackers have burned out. It’s okay though, NiaOps is all over it: Agents, we've confirmed reports of unintended and erratic Portal and Fracker behavior. We are actively working on resolving these issues and will report back once we have more information. Thanks for your patience. — Niantic Support (@NianticHelp) March 4, 2019 https://niaoops.com/blog/forced-to-upgrade/ Wed, 23 Jan 2019 03:47:32 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/forced-to-upgrade/ Did you disable updates as soon as you heard that Niantic had updated Ingress 1.x to Prime? The good times are over. You need to upgrade to Prime or start using [Redacted]. Attention any Agents who are still using the original Ingress app: starting today we will require you to use Ingress Prime or Scanner [REDACTED]. This change will allow for server improvements and new features for Prime. Thanks for your understanding. https://niaoops.com/blog/batter-saver-mode/ Tue, 15 Jan 2019 03:43:48 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/batter-saver-mode/ Ingress Prime isn’t using more battery or anything. But, if you think it is, you can enable the new “Battery Saver” mode. But you don’t need to because it doesn’t drain the battery any faster than [Redacted]. Trust us. In the coming days you will receive an update to the Ingress Prime Scanner. We’re excited to announce it includes the beta rollout of a new optional Battery Saver mode that can be enabled in settings! https://niaoops.com/blog/locked-medals/ Wed, 12 Dec 2018 03:39:46 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/locked-medals/ Scanner updates to support the Year 6, Ouroboros, medal changed the agent profile screen and presented locked medals that agents had never had the opportunity to earn. It’s okay though, NiaOps is on the case: Some event medals recently appeared on your scanner as locked even if you have never participated. Based on your feedback, we’ll be changing these to not display unless you have already participated in the relevant event. https://niaoops.com/blog/niantic-releases-redacted-for-apple/ Wed, 14 Nov 2018 03:16:04 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/niantic-releases-redacted-for-apple/ After being stuck for over a week in Apple’s review process, Ingress [Redacted] is now available for iOS devices. https://niaoops.com/blog/prime-login-issues/ Mon, 12 Nov 2018 03:34:38 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/prime-login-issues/ Two days ago Niantic announced that they were aware of the issues Prime users were having logging in to their scanners: Attention Agents, we are currently working on resolving a technical issue impacting your ability to access Ingress Prime. We will update you as more information becomes available. Thanks for your patience. — Niantic Support (@NianticHelp) November 11, 2018 Today Niantic announced a 2xAP bonus to make up for any losses agents might have incurred while being unable to login to Prime: https://niaoops.com/blog/niantic-releases-redacted-for-android/ Tue, 06 Nov 2018 03:15:59 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/niantic-releases-redacted-for-android/ Following widespread outcry over the, forced, upgrade to Ingress Prime, Niantic has released [Redacted]. [Redacted] is the Ingress 1.x that we all had grown to know and love. In addition to launching #IngressPrime today we’re excited to announce that Scanner [REDACTED] will be live for Android tomorrow, and on iOS later this week. For more info on Scanner [REDACTED] you can read our FAQ here. https://t.co/1XhnhqKqQ6 pic.twitter.com/lQu6tOETeT — Ingress (@ingress) November 5, 2018 However, Niantic was only able to release [Redacted] for Android. https://niaoops.com/blog/prime-released-ahead-of-schedule/ Mon, 05 Nov 2018 03:04:21 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/prime-released-ahead-of-schedule/ Earlier today ingress.com was relaunched including a coded message. Decoders from both factions went to work and soon discovered that the decoded message was: Ingress Prime Releases Nov 18 However, despite all the effort of relaunching the website and including an encoded message, someone at Niantic hit a button and Prime was released as a forced upgrade for Ingress 1.x on all Apple and Android devices. The wait is over. https://niaoops.com/blog/beta-wave-3-errors/ Thu, 25 Oct 2018 03:00:59 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/beta-wave-3-errors/ The link emailed to many of the Beta Wave 3 participants doesn’t work for most of the agents who signed up. An email has also been delivered to all of the Beta invitees informing them that they are no longer under NDA. https://niaoops.com/blog/beta-wave-3-invites-delivered/ Tue, 23 Oct 2018 02:58:24 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/beta-wave-3-invites-delivered/ Beta Wave 3 participants received their invites today. According to the email: This link will be available to you at approximately 2 PM Pacific on Thursday, October 25 and will not be accessible earlier.

There was only one problem, the link in the email doesn’t work. It results in a 404 error. Before sending the emails to the Beta Wave 2 participants, Niantic announced to the POC Slack: Invites for the second phase of beta, that was delayed two weeks, are going to start going out in batches starting today and spanning the next few days. https://niaoops.com/blog/ios-is-all-better/ Mon, 24 Sep 2018 02:34:03 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/ios-is-all-better/ Niantic has released an updated scanner that corrects for the problem with glyphing on the iPhone X that was caused by correcting for the incompatibilities with iOS 12. We've released an update to Ingress that addresses the iPhone X notch and has adjustments for screen resolution on retina devices.

Which, is good, because iOS 12 was released today. We're happy to say the current version of Ingress will soon be compatible w/ iOS 12. https://niaoops.com/blog/ios-12-incompatible/ Wed, 12 Sep 2018 02:00:18 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/ios-12-incompatible/ Niantic announced via G+ that Ingress 1.x is not compatible with iOS 12, the latest release of Apple’s Operating System for it’s flagship smartphone. As a result, Niantic promised to provide any agents who use iOS and registers by October 5th for the anomalies on October 20th access to the Ingress Prime Beta at least one week before the anomaly. On September 7th Niantic announced that the 2nd Wave of invitees would be delayed up to two more weeks. https://niaoops.com/blog/prime-beta-delayed/ Fri, 07 Sep 2018 01:30:19 +0000 https://niaoops.com/blog/prime-beta-delayed/ The Ingress Prime Beta (2nd Wave), initially promised to be released by private invite on August 31, 2018, has been delayed by up to 2 weeks.
