🆕 Wayfarer Update 🆕 

Following the maintenance, Wayfarer has now updated its interface. 

Please be aware there has been a change to the questions asked during review, so ensure you take time to review and understand the updated information. It may be best to treat this as a clean slate and forget the way you previously reviewed, whilst remembering to stick to the criteria.

👋 What’s gone 👋 

 ⁃ The rating of 1-5 for Wayspots has been removed 

 ⁃ There is no need to pass a test to use Wayfarer for reviewing and submitting

 ⁃ Questions around things like historical and cultural significance have been replaced 

 ⁃ “Other Rejection Criteria” has been removed 

 ⁃ There is no longer a single reject option at the start of reviewing. 


🆕 What’s new 🆕 

 ⁃ Instead of 1-5 stars, you’ll get a series of questions such as “Is this a good place to socialise?” and “Is the submitted photo, title, location, and description (if exists) accurate and informative?” and will answer these with a 👍, 👎 or “I Don’t Know”

 ⁃ All of the questions will have an information tooltip which has further information by tapping ℹ️ 

 ⁃ Instead of the test, each Wayfarer now goes through the onboarding process

 ⁃ There is a new optional question about the approximate number of people that could potentially gather at this location

 ⁃ There is no overall comments box.

The tooltips contain several clarifications, so be sure to read them thoroughly.

Niantic has also produced a series of videos for their refresh to the system.
