Ingress codename on your Niantic Profile

NianticOfficial

As you may have seen, your Ingress codename and Access Level were temporarily visible to your Pokémon GO Friends via your Niantic Profile, a new feature of Niantic Social on Pokémon GO. This feature was released earlier than intended, and we have since removed it from your Niantic Profile.

When we launch the Niantic Profile feature in Ingress next month, we’ll add a new setting to help you control your codename visibility, allowing you to optionally display your Ingress codename on your Niantic Profile. In the meantime, you will continue to see Ingress listed in your Niantic Profile’s “Other Games to Share” section.

Please note that when Ingress initially launches the Niantic Profile feature, you will be able to view your Niantic Profile in Ingress only from your own Agent Profile. Tapping another Agent’s codename to view their Agent Profile will not display a link to their Niantic Profile. This is by design because your Agent Profile is accessible to all Agents.

Pokémon GO added a new visibility setting to the Niantic Profile's Account Settings menu that lets Pokémon GO players show or hide their usernames across all Niantic games. They're also adding Ingress back to the Niantic Profile, so Pokémon GO players can see which of their Pokémon GO Friends also play Ingress.

If you'd like to hide your last played date or your Ingress codename on your Niantic Profile, follow these steps:

1. On the Niantic Profile, tap the gear icon to open the Account Settings menu.
2. Uncheck "Let my Friends see info about the last time I played Niantic Games."
3. Uncheck "Let my Friends see my usernames from all Niantic Games."

We're working to add the Niantic Profile to the Ingress Agent Profile so that Ingress Agents can also access their Niantic Account Settings via Ingress directly. This will go out within the next couple releases, so stay tuned.
