Strobing effect on map in 2.45.1 on iOS on iPhone 11 (epilepsy hazard)

In today’s update there’s a strange strobing effect on the map when returning from inventory or comms views, especially to the fully zoomed out map view.

It’s as if there’s a beat frequency between the device refresh rate and the game refresh rate.

It’s very unpleasant and I could see it being a problem for photosensitive epileptics.

I have video but this forum won’t let me post it .

Doesn’t happen on Android Pixel 3.


PS new faster startup is great. 15s, down from 20+s. Still not 7s like the old client, but getting there! Thanks!

PPS the scores on map view are underneath the inventory readout on iOS too. Very strange. No scores on map view on Android. Not sure what’s going on there.

PPPS why does the “Make agent stats private” checkbox keep turning itself back on?

PPPPS thanks for moving the menu/action area up, away from the iOS/Android 10 app drag area. That’s been driving me nuts. PoGo could use this too.

    PPPPPS there’s also a band above the menu area where tapping on portals does nothing. It extends maybe another half inch above the menu area. Very annoying.

    PPPPPPS I’ve had to uninstall Ingress because the flickering is physically nauseating and I’d rather not get a migraine from it. Android only again. 🥺

    Ok. Out of curiosity I reinstalled it.

    The strobing and the lingering scores on the map screen have magically gone away.

    Glad I have the video of what it was doing before.

    Glad there’s a simple remedy too.
