2021-06-26 12:04:54 A message from the Glyph Journal:

Agents, thank you so much for your incredible participation. With your help, we could establishe a list of the new NL-1331 glyph sequences.

With 721 agents, participants almost quadrupled from last time, and with 31014 submissions, screenshots have tripled. Counting took over 5 hours due to manually checking every chat for invalid screenshots. Due to the massive amount of agents, there were two agents that hit the average, therefore an ADA'15 medal was added to the prize pool.

Contest stats:
Total submissions: 31014
Average: 43.075
Agents: 721

Top 3:
@Neokondor - 816
@PineapplePizzaMascot42 - 784
@MudoScp - 601

Nearest to the average:
@Hqahector - 43
@StarYara - 43

If you'd like to help the glyph journal with more submissions even after the contest ended, contact @InvestigateXM, or @Ishira so we can add you to the glyph journal room. We're always looking for more members to submit sequences!

2021-06-24 01:14:54 Niantic published Release Notes for Ingress Prime v2.74.1, coming to your scanners shortly!

In this version, the Main Menu button layout was updated in preparation for a new feature! Additionally, C.O.R.E. subscribers will be able to see the renewal date in the Settings menu.

Fixed bugs involve a softlock on 2020 iPhone SE when using 2-finger zoom, random restarts of the New Agent Training and crashes occurring when uploading Portal Scans.

The team also stated to be working on tentative fixes to COMM loading and refresh, scheduled for v2.75.1!
