This weekend is an Anomaly Weekend!

Agents will face off in the last chapter of the Buried Memories Anomaly Series and we will finally know the Faction which will bring this victory home!

The hosts of the two Anomaly Events for this weekend are:
?? Budapest, Hungary
?? Kuching, Malaysia

Our Admin, , will be in the Hungarian capital starting tomorrow and he brought plenty of swag to hand out to Agents! Ping him on Telegram or find him in the streets of Budapest to obtain one of our biocards and, for the first time ever at an Anomaly Event, our freshly-minted matte pins!

See you on the field, Agents!

Niantic has released Update 2.143.1 to the App Stores!

New in this version is a much appreciated Quality-of-live change: while managing your inventory, instead of keeping the (+) button held down to select all items, you can now use the (-) button when the counter is at 0 to instantly select all items of the selected type! This can be done in both the inventory view as well as the Capsule view.

Tap on the GIF above to see how it works in action if you can't see the entire Scanner screen!

The third and final round of Shard Skirmishes has come to an end! The Agents in the Americas have concluded their efforts and we are able to finally give you our insights on the events that unfolded in the previous hours.

Good luck, Agents! Give it your all in these final Shard Skirmishes!

One of our Field Reporters is donating plasma as we speak! In a plasma-only donation, the liquid portion of the donor's blood is separated from the cells. Blood is drawn from one arm and sent through a high-tech machine that collects the plasma. The donor's red blood cells and platelets are then returned to the donor along with some saline.

This type of donation takes longer (about half an hour up to 45 minutes after being hooked up), but is just as important as donating blood! Our Field Reporter will be able to use this time to relax, read or hear music.

Just like last year, June 14th is World Blood Donor Day! It is once again the perfect time to roll up your sleeve and donate some of that red gold in your body.

Need a little incentive? The folks of the are sending out a special embroidered patch for giving blood! Simply take a photo of yourself with your Ingress agent IGN somewhere in the picture while 'raising a sleeve' (donating a pint of the dark red stuff). Post the picture to Social Media and fill out the form on the website! There is no time limit for receiving the patch, donating blood does not have to be done on June 14th specifically and can instead be done all year round!

Can't donate blood? Agent has created and shared files for a mission banner! You can use these to create a new banner to support the community as well.

Agents are reporting that the issue with passcode rewards for the Wayfarer Challenge is resolved. Redeeming the codes again should work now.

Note that the rewards have not gone out to everyone yet. Niantic gave themselves until tomorrow to distribute the passcode and the OPR Live tick. If you haven't received either after tomorrow we'd advise you to post on the Wayfarer forums, but until then you should wait.

?We are getting reports from Agents that the Strong Integrity check is now active on Ingress for Android devices.

Agents who fail to pass Android's Strong integrity check will be presented a popup saying: "Ingress is not supported by your device's configuration".

More details on this check are available on our and at

⚠️ Some Wayfarer users are reporting that the passcodes provided by Niantic as a reward for the latest Wayfarer Challenge are not working.

Niantic is aware of the issue and will provide more information soon.
We will update you once this information is available!

Thanks to for the info!

The NIA has been impressed with the work of Alicia Moyer and her Ingress Report and has awarded the Agents responsible for its distribution with the coveted Edgar Allan Wright badge!

Huge congratulations to , and , we hope you enjoy your rare, shiny new badge!

Niantic has set a new deadline for activating the integrity check.

It will now be activated next Monday, June 3rd, to check whether your devices have strong integrity. If this is not the case, you will no longer be able to play Ingress on the affected devices from this date onward.

You can find all information about the check here:
