Feature Request: Displayed Unqiues
So, now that Redacted has been turned off, and we're purely on Prime and the new backend servers, when will we see the features we've asked for but been told "Not until we get new servers"?
Feature Request: Display Uniques
Something Pokemon Go has had for a long time is displaying whether or not you've hacked a given portal in the last 2.5 years (I think). It appears to work off Game Log, but Ingress has a specific Unique portal hacks table. It would be great if there were an indicator both on the map display, and when you select a portal, to indicate you have never hacked or captured the portal.
Maybe a red circle on the ground around an unvisited portal, and a yellow circle on the ground for an uncaptured (but visited) portal.
This would not only make local play better, but greatly help when people go on trips to other places and anomalies.
Additionally, this should be passed as part of the tile level information when viewing a region, so that we can see which portals we have hacked and which we have not, on the map.

Until we hear other wise, I would assume we're still on the old backend
I wouldn't make that assumption, given that we were told that the new servers would be rolled out in 2019. The old backend's primary interface is gone. It doesn't really make sense to only access them through the old shim.
The last I remember hearing about it, they were focused on getting Prime ready first, and the new backend was backburnered until after that.
Sure. You're focussing on the wrong part of this "Feature Request".
Ahh, just realized who I was replying to. Nevermind.
Server updates generally occur about 1 week prior to App updates.
Thus we can assume that Niantic is already underway to update the new server backend starting today, or tomorrow.
Am definitely wanting to see what is a unique cap, or unique visit, ASAP
