Teardown 2.46.1
And with the latest Ingress Update comes, timely, the Teardown by our friends at FevGames!
These are the latest hidden features in Ingress Prime v2.46.1!
Battle Beacon
- The amount of total rounds in a battle has been made dynamic, while the default seems to remains at 6 rounds. This means that this property is now configurable.
App Ratings
- A new flag was added to draw a "Rate our app" notice in the settings page. We share the authors' thoughts in saying that the current rating for both iOS and Android Scanners is pretty low, but the amount of work the team put in from the "scuffed beyond belief" release is considerable given the improvements brought to the present version of the game.
Subscription store
- This feature, for now, is clearly under early development, so nothing specific can be said at the moment. Only the icon of a lock has been found in relation to this section of the Scanner.
Fireworks!
- The mysterious "unknown5" powerup has finally been unveiled! It is available in 3 different formats: ENL, RES and Neutral.
- This powerup falls under the same category as the "APEX" powerup, which means it will be applied to the player, not to portals. Our guess is that they will be displayed on the map at a player's location and they seem to be tied to Battle Victory but, until new data is discovered, nothing else is known about this new item.
Sound
- New audio files have been discovered: the majority of them regards Subscriptions and Battles.
BattleBeaconDeploy, CheckpointAlert, FinalCheckpointAlert, FireworksExplosion, FinalFlagLand, FireworkLoop, FireworkWhistlesOneshot, PurchasedItemFlyout, CountupLoop, CountupOneshot, NonItemFlyout.
By listening to these files, Items and CMU are "flying out". Could these be rewards for the subscriptions?
Performance management
- Niantic is now monitoring the time taken by Unity and the whole app to load, which might indicate Niantic's intent to shorten those times.

They said they fixed portal scanning. NOPE! ( Had 15 scans done. Did no get any :/)
Same with ghost portals. I just see them more than before.
The way NIA is "fixing" things, i just wanna say; Can we just get our Founder's badge...? because this definitely feels like the "early days of Ingress" probably worst -_-
isnt this against TOS ?
What exactly? Fevgames holds for NIA FS. Not an official resource, but this is a true info, which is hidden in apk.
Me too, again stopped working .. ((
But let niantic decide when they are ready to post this kind of info maybe?
Delete?
