Known Issues
General
- iOS’s upload photo path has a bricking bug when a user takes a photo with the device and uploads the photo
- UI does not refresh instantly for other users; when user A creates a group or modifies a group member list, user B and user C won’t see the changes immediately. The propagation period is about 1 minute
- Android back button navigation: If you create an event and click on any of the options to select or enter details, clicking the device back-button drops you back to the group main screen. Using the back-buttons at the top of the app returns you back to the event creation screen
- Location-sharing issues for a limited set of users on iPhone 8
Text channels
- Cannot be deleted
- Channel list is not sorted chronologically
Groups
- Users can be invited multiple times to the same group
- Creating a group does not make the group visible immediately. Sometimes need to go to different tab then come back to see the new group
- Using an invite code for a group you’ve already joined is confusing because it provides no feedback
- Entering an incorrect group invite code provides no feedback.

Niantic chat: Sharing of location is still not available
Ingress Version: 2.7.7.1-9cbf94fc
Phone model: Samsung S20 Ultra (Android 11)
Location: Malaysia
Description:
But share of live location still not available.
location share doesn't work also for iphone 11
iOS: 14.7.1
iPhone: 11
Ingress version: 2.77.1
My location: Tokyo, Japan
I noticed this morning that I can now search for locations and share my current location on my iPhone 8.
It seems to have solved the same problem for other friends in Japan.
Thank you for your help.
Now I can create my own group.
I'm going to try it out.
I look forward to new updates: )
@NianticZenas
Ya. Thanks for fixing the live location sharing.
@NianticZenas
So... How is this weekly bug list going?
3 weeks later?
So if this is not being updated on a weekly basis.... does that means all bugs have been resolved and no new bugs have been found?
Hey @JimboMX @XQlusioN!
Apologies for the delay - while we have resolved most of these bugs, we've also been continuing to QA on our side and fixing bugs as they arise. We have not seen many new reports on this forum since mid-late August, so we're looking ahead to the next set of announcements.
@Juuuuuice
