I love one feature from Redacted nomination that save my Submission Pictures in an album. With Prime we just get a link through email, but please can we save the main photo in an album with Prime also?
I noticed a lot of portals featuring large fountains have disappeared in my city, even if the portal was at the edge of the fountain, on dry land where agents "can interact with it". Please clarify "interaction" with a fountain - does it mean reach out with your hand and physically touch the falling water?
Has Niantic ever considered doing a virtual OPR LIVE as a special event? Maybe a couple of times a year? I loved the OPR Live at Anomaly. It helped me understand why some portals were being rejected and it buzzed through many of my portals FAST that had been in the queue for a long while.
When you are done with a mission a list of other missions pops up, and this is great if you are doing a banner, but they are not sorted (or at least I cannot see a sorting pattern on it).
Could it be sorted by distance, so the closest ones appear first?
Hi. Do you (Niantic) plan to turn back to printed biocards with passcode? If not yet planed, request you offer digital delivery kits for those who can’t pickup onsite and printed for the agents attending anomalies or mission days. We miss printed biocards! :-)
OPR: Are you going to change guidelines once Redacted gets shut down? Now with prime and pogo you can send 2 pictures, but even with a good view if the nominations does not have a Street View Update it will to be approved.
Portal criterias are sometimes subjective. They should be more accurate to avoid missunderstandings, community conflicts and waste of time. Furthermore, the reasons of rejection should be informed to improve the portal network.
On the other hand, google maps are never updated and I hav doubts if the 360• photos work well.
I tried to inform that many phisical portals have been replaced or their location changed. I always inform about these but they have been never approved, in my opinion w/o reasons. It is so frustrating!
In OPR, are there any plans in the works to update criteria submission to specifically address church and apartment volleyball and swimming pools. And track agents who submit obviously non qualifying portals and enact bans on those submitting vulgar pictures.
Will NIA consider treating all military portals (i.e. including those that are "grandfathered") as invalid? It seems to me that a portal which is not accessible to the public should not be there. Such portals can cause lots of issues and bad feeling in the community if they are abused (which unfortunately has happened in my community). In the UK, such portals are, as far as I am aware, considered prohibited places under the Official Secrets Act 1911, which means that there is no safe access.
In addition to my previous OPR questions, what are thoughts on these fast food play grounds? There seems to be differing views on these. My thought is that if apartment pool and pavillions are a 1 star, I see no reason to approve these enclosed play lands.
I still remember your previous promise during 2018 Australia NL tour: Niantic was considering to provide official authorization for some third-party services or tools.
Do Niantic plan to support Prime on 2G (Edge)? We have many areas where only 2G network is available. If Prime won’t turn playable on 2G the playground for agents outside of big cities will dramatically shrink. Thank you!
Will there be an option to manually trigger portal health refresh when defending? Currently you can do this in redacted but not prime, which makes defending portals harder.
Can we do something about the way the edit system is being abused to make moves based on other games i.e.
Lots of requests are coming through OPR like this, quite often the suggested location is nowhere near the POI.
Even if it is still on the POI, then the move is causing fields and links to be dropped, which may seem immaterial to PoGo players but does matter to Ingress agents.
What are the chances of point of Interest submissions and operation portal Recon all being made into their own application separate from the three Niantic games currently utilized.
Is that something that might be on a future road map?
Portal nomination question - now we can use existing photos from our phone's gallery there's been a rise in agents submitting portals using photos they didn't take themselves. We understand that photos copied from the internet are against guidelines, and on OPR we try and flag these as third party as advised. However there's some confusion as to whether a photo that someone else took, and sent to an agent with consent to use as a portal photo, would count as third party. Should all portal photos be taken by the submitting agent? Thank you.
When u submit a proposal, you have to inform about the location but you dont know if the proposal has another one near of 20 m. If it is real this constraint, the submission process has to put a poka-yoke to avoid proposals near the current ones
I live in central Europe and therefore get portal candidates and edits from more than 10 different countries and in at least 8 different languages, despite having no Bonus location set.
Question1: Can you consider allowing us to skip more portal candidates? A lot of times i get candidates in a language I don't speak where knowing the content of the title/description or even text in the photo is critical.
Question2: Let's say I get a portal edit where I have to decide between two Polish titles and descriptions (I don't speak Polish). What option should I chose If i can't skip this case? (translation is often impossible because of all the proper nouns (family names, town names, village names, words in dialect, typos,..)
Should I just choose "neither of the above" all the time?
1. why high level resistance agents who are cheaters can't be terminated?
2. when intel will be upgraded?
3. when resistance portals get spoofed..they get reinstated at once..while the other faction rarely reinstated..although the agents get terminated..why is this happening?

Last question, missions rejected and aproved. Will be a feedback?

There is a rumour going around that the recursion badge is retiring once Redacted has retired. Can you confirm this for us please, thanks.
Hi Andrew!
How do you like the memes with you and Ethan so far?
Is prime will be compatible with 2g networks? Redacted is capable of playing on 2g and Prime does not.
Has Niantic ever considered doing a virtual OPR LIVE as a special event? Maybe a couple of times a year? I loved the OPR Live at Anomaly. It helped me understand why some portals were being rejected and it buzzed through many of my portals FAST that had been in the queue for a long while.

(a filter by name would also be much apreciated)
Will Niantic add the icon that shows where upcoming portals are located with distance to portal, like they currently have in redacted.
Hi. Do you (Niantic) plan to turn back to printed biocards with passcode? If not yet planed, request you offer digital delivery kits for those who can’t pickup onsite and printed for the agents attending anomalies or mission days. We miss printed biocards! :-)
thanks in advance!

Thoughts on adding a daily quest like Pogo or Wizards?
Is Niantic working on a more effective battery saver option.

Do you ask for a raise after every AMA ?
You certainly deserve one. Thanks for doing these. They are very helpful and are appreciated by the players.
That's all I got.
In OPR, are there any plans in the works to update criteria submission to specifically address church and apartment volleyball and swimming pools. And track agents who submit obviously non qualifying portals and enact bans on those submitting vulgar pictures.

Do you remember it too?

Andrew, can we PLEASE have a new stat-based tiered medal? Find my TG message if you want to check what our ideas were ;-) We'd love to have them!

Can we get added functionality to Prime to add a new photo to an existing portal?
What are the chances of point of Interest submissions and operation portal Recon all being made into their own application separate from the three Niantic games currently utilized.
Is that something that might be on a future road map?

Is there any chance to get a misson deletion feature from our profile?
