About Ingress
Welcome, Agent. A mysterious energy source known as Exotic Matter (XM) has been discovered. Its origin is unknown, and its power is seemingly unlimited. Two Factions are racing to control it, and the future of humanity hangs in the balance. The newly enhanced Ingress Scanner is online, and waiting for you.
THE WORLD IS YOUR GAME
Step outside and turn the real world into your battlefield. Explore landmarks, monuments, and hidden corners of your city. Every public artwork and point of interest becomes a Portal: a gateway to gather XM and uncover the secrets that are shaping our world.
CHOOSE YOUR FACTION
Will you enlighten humanity’s evolution with The Enlightened, or defend free will from mind control with The Resistance? Your choice defines your mission, your allies, and your destiny.
TEAM UP, THINK BIG
Coordinate with Agents nearby and across the globe. Build strategies, plan operations, and take part in live events that reshape the map, and reality itself.
CONTROL THE BATTLEFIELD
Capture and link Portals to create massive Control Fields spanning entire cities. Compete for dominance, territory, and influence in a global, ever-changing war.
YOUR MISSION STARTS NOW
XM is everywhere. The battle is real. Download Ingress and join the fight.
Note: Agents must be over 13 years old (for residents outside of the European Economic Area); or over 16 years old or such age needed to consent to the processing of personal data in the Agent's country of residence (for residents of the European Economic Area). Unfortunately, no children may play Ingress.
The optional Adventure Sync feature integrates with HealthKit to credit your distance traveled Agent Stats, even when Ingress is in the background.

_______________
Notes:
• Google Fit needs to be installed and permissions enabled in order for Ingress to accurately track your steps.
• Fitness information is critical to app functionality, fraud and abuse prevention, app security, and compliance. Steps and Distance permissions are needed for Kinetic Capsule and Bounty progression. Calories Burned permission is needed for the Weekly Fitness Report (FITREP) summary.
• It is recommended to play Ingress while connected to a network in order to obtain accurate location information. Agents walk, pedal, and roll to move.
• This app is free-to-play and offers in-game purchases. It is optimized for smartphones that have 2GB RAM or more, with Android 10 or newer installed. Ingress may not run on certain devices even if they have compatible OS versions installed.
What's new in 3.16.1
• Added a Map screen widget to highlight when a new event campaign is active, and when it ends. This widget can be dismissed by collapsing the Día de Muertos Noise Floor campaign in Dispatch by tapping the up arrow or collapse button.
• Updated Sign in with Apple and Sign in with Google on Intel Map and the Mission Authoring Tool.
Fixes
• Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred when an Apex 2x AP boost was active.
