Social Media campaign to advertise Redacted going away
@NianticBrian Are you guys working on a social media campaign to let people know that Redacted is going away? I know everyone here may know about it, but as you and many of us know, some of the less connected/more casual players may not be aware. It might be a good time to work on one/roll one out.
I would like people to continue playing Ingress, and I am concerned that a lot of people won't make the transition, if they don't get the encouragement to use it.

The old scanner has received a force update to prime. Players that did not update, just can't use the old scanner anymore.
Redacted is opt-in, so people that have installed Ingress are aware of the temporary condition of redacted.
@zqsd yes, I know that, but even last month when they had the 1 day shutdown, we had several people who were surprised by it
This is not correct, it only happened one day, 24hs and then we could continue using scanner redacted until now.
There is no real date published by niantic when scanner redacted will stop working, only some "unofficial" words, nothing official released by niantic via the officials social media channels as should be.
Andrew has literally stated September on here
He is correct. He means what I would call"classic" ingress. It forced an update to prime as in prime was a new version release of the same app you had on your phone. Redacted was a released later as a completely separately app that people had to download is they wanted the "classic" game style. The one day downtime is different to that. Hope that helps.
It's just the tantrum phase. They'll get over once it's shutdown for good.
