Still uploading portal scans 18 hours later

I did my daily exercise in local woods and decided to scan portals on the way , I did about 3o-35 scans which ranges from 18mb to 200ishmb , all on the option to upload later. Got home just after 2pm and started the upload with phone on charger all night . It’s now 9:30 am the following day and the triangle is still going round 🤷‍♀️

do I carry on or loose them ? My first batch of 50 kept failing to load so deleted them and app and followed supports guidance.

iphone 8 iOS 13.3.1 ingress 2.43.4

    You could definitely try killing the app and starting the upload again. I've done that a few times and still got credit (at least most of it; I didn't count exactly).

    In my experience, if I have, say, 2 offline scans they upload almost right away, but 10 or more scans can take an hour or more, and 20 scans takes many hours. It seems scale non-linearly, which I suspect is a bug or a bad failure mode. Maybe any network issue during the upload causes it to start over or something like that. I've also found it helps to put the phone very close to my wifi.

    I agree that a progress bar would be useful.

    I only do 1 scan at a time, did a upload with multiple and only got credit for one

    When I upload, I do it from home wifi, even on wifi, it takes ~5 min for 1 portal scan and locks down my internet while doing it

    I've had the a problem uploading on my home wifi, which is unlimited but slower than my data. The triangle turns for a half hour or so, and then I get the "upload failed" message. After 5 or 6 tries, I switched to data and they uploaded quickly. So it works, but it could end up using up too much of my data allowance.

    Are we supposed to get confirmation emails after uploading? I submitted a batch of 20, it said theyre submitted but no emails?

    No emails. The only confirmation is your "Portal Scans Uploaded" stat in the "Discovery" section will increase.
