Portal scan WiFi upload lag

Greetings, I have completed several portal scans this afternoon. I have connected to WiFi to download the scans at 15:40. The phone (iPhone SE) is still downloading, Total time over 45min and still going. Is there an issue with scan uploads? An upload usually takes just a few minutes. Kindly advise, Thanks.

    I did about 50 yesterday. Took about an hour. Most were in the 45mb range, some were closer to 100mb. Unfortunately without a way to know your progress or pause them, it’s kinda just is what it is. Whenever I upload, I just plan to have no access to my phone for that unknown time period as I don’t want to have any of my scans fail, I know Niantic certainly won’t give me credit until the scan is uploaded, so…

  • Hey AKB

    You might be experiencing the portal upload freeze bug, I have experienced this a number of times myself.

    Anything you try to do to fix it doesn't seem to work, like scanning a new portal and/or restarting app.


    What you can do to fix it is go to the application settings, then memory, and then clearing the cache from the app


    That usually fixes it for me.

    the upload later feature is bugged, lost too many scans because of it to use it anymore

    Thanks for the info everyone.

    I tried to restart Ingress as well as login / logout, but once I started the scan it ran for over an hour.

    Based on your comments its safer to upload less scans at a single time.
