2021-11-09 13:32:12 On November 5, 2021 agents from the Resistance community of Wrocław and Lower Silesia, Poland lit the sky over Wrocław with hundreds of links, making a beautiful link star. During several hours of fun, 1928 links with a total length of more than 6 500 kilometres were made with the assistance of two intel operators. The longest link was 18 km. Excellent work, agents!

2021-11-01 22:53:51 New update 2.83.1 is here!!

• We updated our loading flow with the Powered by Niantic Lightship logo to reflect our recent Lightship upgrades.

• Adventure Sync connects with Google Fit or Apple HealthKit to record your walking distance even if the Ingress Scanner isn’t open. This distance is used towards the Trekker medal and also completing Kinetic Capsule Programs.

• Portal Scan Meshing on supported phones allows Agents to better see what has and hasn’t been scanned during a Portal Scan. Meshing is an opt-in feature; all devices that had access to Portal Scanning in previous Ingress releases can continue to use the point cloud visualization.

And a few bug fixes:

• Fixed: Missing keyboard button in COMM Chat.

• Fixed: Hard lock when trying to re-scan a Portal.

• Fixed: Subscription Refresh button in the Settings menu sometimes fell below the fold.
