Thia posted an update on current lags, missing portals, and a plan for new features by the end of 2021.
---
The cause of the current lags, which slows down the game for some actions, has not been found yet. The Ingress team is continuing to investigate, but can't give an indication of when the lags will be fixed yet.
---
The Ingress team, along with the Wayfarer team, is also continuing to search for the cause of portals as well as editing which make it into other Niantic games but don't show up in Ingress. However, since the cause is not yet known, the team also cannot give a time frame by when the problem can be solved.
---
In addition to the already announced events, Thia also revealed that the following features should be available by the end of the year:
- Adventure Sync
- Portal Scan Meshing
- An update to an already existing portal boost

In November, the update to the Portal Boost will have targeted tests. How and if you can sign up for these tests is unknown.
---
Niantic is currently planning to sit down in the first quarter in 2022 and come up with a plan for 2022 and beyond. Once that happens, Thia will try to share something "roadmap"y with us.

In addition to that, Thia also wants to know what live events and challenges (aside from Anomalies) you would like to see in 2022. You can share your ideas in the following post: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/17002/2022-the-return-of-live-events/p1
