Did You Know? - Unique Portals Visited/Captured

The Discovery stat "Unique Portals Visited" tracks the number of different Portals you've visited in Ingress.

Originally, Unique Portal Visits required you to Hack a Portal, or Deploy/Upgrade a Resonator on the Portal. However, starting in version 2.63.1, the list of actions that grant you a Unique Portal Visit was expanded:

  • Hack a Portal
  • Deploy or Upgrade a Resonator
  • Deploy a Portal Mod
  • Create a Link from the Portal
  • Deploy a Beacon or Firework
  • Recharge the Portal while within the Action Circle
  • Upload a Portal Scan
  • Successfully submit a new Portal Photo.
  • Successfully submit the Portal itself.

Note that these actions apply only since version 2.63.1, which released on January 15th, 2021, and do not apply to previous actions or Portal approvals.

In order to increment the "Unique Portals Captured" stat, the only method remains Deploying the first Resonator on the Portal when it is uncaptured, to become the Owner. For this reason, a JARVIS or ADA does not increment the Unique Portals Captured stat.

    Especially helpful when you visit someplace new, with LOTS of uniques, and your inventory fills up. You can throw a reso or mod on portals you haven't visited, and get credit for the visit. This also decreases your inventory so you can hack again

    It's especially handy if you're doing hack missions, but not every portal is on the mission - play gear on portals not on the mission, to get the unique visit AND make room for the mission's next hack. (Also, if the portal is on the NEXT mission, you won't have a hack cooldown.)
