Turn off Nearby Portals

Hi

Can't find the option in prime to turn off nearby portals. Never had this on in classic. It clutters the screen and annoys me.

Can we get a checkbox please ?


Thanks

  • Yes, I would like this please

  • They get in the way and don't show just the nearest two. I regularly see portals many km away when there are others near me.

    Can you add a toggle to hide this feature please?

  • It's a bit buggy too 🙂


  • There is also a problem with the ownership of the portals. The first two is mentioned as being owned by the enlightened, but they are actually neutral. (I cannot seem to be able to remove the first screenshot ... )

  • Checkbox or No Checkbox........ Just turn them off. Really talking up to much screen area

  • Checkbox 4 uniques 😍

    Or just switch them off 🙈

    I got the remote portals thing twice in relatively fast succession tonight.

    Sequence of events, as best as I can reconstruct it:

    1. Hack some portals at LAX airport.

    2. **** Ingress.

    3. Hack some portals at SJC airport.

    4. Passenger in car, hack and upgrade various portals, including at least one speed lock failure.

    5. See LAX portals show up on the nearby list.

    6. Return to normality.

    7. See one LAX and one portal halfway to LAX show up as nearby (the halfway portal was one I was carrying a key to since it was a recent Discovery of mine.)


    It's possible that all the portals showing up were keys in inventory but names were truncated too much to be sure.

  • There used to be an setting in classic/redacted:

    "Show nearby portal opportunities" which I believe turned on/off this feature in the scanner.

    A required parity fix imho.

    As noted by others, it's also buggy in latest version (2.33.1), as some of the portals shown are not nearby at all.

  • Totally agree. Sometimes the road cannot be seen due to overlays.

    No, it did not. That setting was for push notifications.

    @starwort I stand corrected. I could of sworn that was it was for!

  • Yes, please give a option for turning on or off. Thanks!

  • Agree with other comments. If the boxes are (a) somewhat transparent and (b) only showed nearby portals, not portals super far away, it would not be disliked as much. A toggle would be cool though.

  • Another comment in support of a toggle feature. I can see being in a new area and wanting to know what is nearby, but having it show up all the time is a bit unnecessary in my personal opinion.
