How to find your "start date"
I am a very casual player returning to the game after a bit of a hiatus. I have a question, sorry in advance if it is dumb. Is there a way to find the date you started playing in your ingame peofile? I don't remember when I started and was just curious about how long I have been an Agent.
Oh, and another question: if a friend of mine is banned from COMM, can they still send messages to me in the game?

You can find out your start date by requesting your data from Niantic. Send an Email to privacy@nianticlabs.com from the Email you use for logging into Ingress. Subject can be "Request of my data" with the text being a short "I'd like to request all of my data connected to my Ingress account "ParkeLaine" as described under the GDPR. This account is connected to this email address, [Your Email here]."
This will take a while, probably about a month, but once Niantic sends you your data, you'll find the date and time the account was created in the "profile.txt" file, which looks like this:
You got an email before not long after starting with updates and such.
Or you could go into your App Store and check Purchases which will tell you when you first downloaded the app. I assume there’s something similar on Google Play.
You may be able to ask in the in-app support too.
If your friend is banned in COMMS, they may be able to message you via Campfire.
Creation Time: 2013-01-14
Also, your Niantic Social Profile will have the same date if Ingress is your first Niantic game.
You can find a rough start date, which includes month and year, on your Niantic profile page.
Just go to your Ingress profile page and tap the Niantic logo near the top, on the right hand side.
