As you may have heard, Ingress is preparing to spin out to a new startup, Niantic Spatial. As part of this work, there are several changes that we need to make over the next few weeks:
-
Sign in with Facebook will be removed as a login method. If you currently use only Sign in with Facebook to sign into Ingress or the Intel Map, please link a new login provider, like Sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple, via the Ingress Settings menu or your Niantic Profile as soon as possible.
-
Campfire will be removed from Ingress. We’ll disable the option to send Campfire direct messages and remove Campfire from the Main menu before the end of the month.
-
Your Niantic Profile will be removed from your Ingress Agent Profile. Ingress will also be removed from the list of game profiles on your Niantic Profile.
Additionally, our regular release cadence may be disrupted over the next few months. There’s a lot of work to be done, and we’re a small but mighty development team. Rest assured that already-announced events, like upcoming Mission Days and Anomalies, should not be impacted and they will continue as scheduled.
We’re still finalizing additional details with other teams but the Niantic Wayfarer Team recently shared an update on their forum here, and we’ll share more information as soon as we’re able.
Updated Fri Apr 11:
On Tue Apr 15 at 10:30 AM PDT, we’ll disable Niantic Campfire and the Niantic Profile on Ingress. Additionally, we’ll temporarily pause new Portal nominations and Portal edits as well as new missions and mission edits until new solutions are ready at Niantic Spatial.
On Thu Apr 17, from 10:30 AM PDT to 4:30 PM PDT, we’ll temporarily disable account linking and unlinking, new account creation, and distance tracking. You may also experience issues using Sign in with Apple to sign into Ingress, but you should be able to sign in using Sign in with Google instead.
Sign in with Facebook will be removed as a login provider starting with Ingress version 2.165.1.
Updated Thu Apr 17:
Thank you for your patience. Account linking and unlinking with Sign in with Google and Sign in with Apple, new account creation, and Adventure Sync distance tracking and nearby alerts are back online. Please note that you will need to re-enable Adventure Sync via the Ingress Settings menu.
The Ingress Mission Creator Tool is currently still offline and we’ll continue working to re-enable it in the next several days. New Portal nominations and edits have been paused until our new solution under Niantic Spatial is ready.
Updated Wed Apr 23:
The Ingress Mission Creator Tool is back online for creating and editing Ingress missions.
Sign in with Facebook has now been removed as a login provider with the release of Ingress 2.165.1.
