Farmers, open the Ingress Farmgress app! It's time to take care of your crops, animals and produce!

The Ingress app has received a overhaul for April Fools and the Animals that you can earn by completing the special Campaign are roaming the map, together with the NL-1331 van and the Toast! Your avatar is also sporting a strawhat to help with your work.

Not a fan of the new Farmgress update? You can head to the settings and disable the visual changes on the map at the very bottom via the "Farmer Mode" setting.

Ingress Updates [ENG]

Apr 24, 2026, 09:16 AM

An open letter to Niantic about Anomaly organisation has gained significant traction across the XFAC community on Reddit.

A member of the Ingress community close to the organization of Anomaly events published a detailed post addressed directly to Niantic Spatial, raising two main concerns: the legal exposure of volunteer POCs and the direction of Anomaly Season design.

On legal responsibility and Anomaly timing
In countries like Germany, Switzerland, France and Singapore (and Italy too, in a minor way, ed.), running a public event comes with real legal obligations, such as permits, regulatory compliance, accountability to authorities, and the prospect of substantial fines if something goes wrong. According to the post, these obligations should belong to Niantic, even though POC volunteers in the recent past were luckily skilled enough to deal with the legal aspect of an Ingress event.

The specific points raised are:
🔸POCs are volunteers: they are not Niantic's legal representatives
🔸Fines for non-compliant events are not symbolic: they can be significant
🔸Nobody signs up as a POC to become a company's legal fallback

The letter also discusses Niantic's event planning choices, specifically the timing and legality of events such as scheduling an Anomaly in Geneva during a G7 summit, choosing Paris with its strict public assembly laws without providing organisers the support to navigate them or placing events in Jersey City and Bogotá during the FIFA World Cup, when infrastructure is strained and logistics are a nightmare. The post argues that none of this is obscure knowledge, and yet volunteers are left dealing with these issues.

On Anomaly Season design
The second part of the letter addresses what is seen as a structural drift away from what makes Ingress distinct. With Anomalies now a component of the larger Anomaly Season badge, and bounty-based scoring consolidating faction results into a pure headcount contest, the letter argues that coordinated, strategic play is being devalued:

🔸Larger factions gain a near-automatic advantage in bounty scoring
🔸Individual stat challenges (Global Ops etc.) reduce the need for inter-agent coordination
🔸The format that made anomalies compelling, smaller groups outplaying larger ones through strategy, becomes largely irrelevant

The letter closes with a reminder that the Ingress community has always been willing to carry significant weight in supporting events, but that personal legal liability is a line it should never be asked to cross.
The post is currently being widely shared and discussed across both factions.

🐄 April Fools' 2026 - Farmgress Campaign

Agents from Oceania are reporting the appearance of a new Campaign in their scanners, just as April 1st rolls in across the Pacific.

The Campaign is called Farmgress and yes, the prize for each completed task is reportedly a farm animal. 🐱🐮🐴🐔

We are currently unable to confirm what form these animals take, whether as an in-game item, or an actual livestock delivery to your registered address. Niantic has not yet commented.

The campaign will be available for 6 days and consists of one single assignment, rewarding agents with one VR Multi-hack upon completion.

Tasks are said to include classics such as deploying Resonators (near actual farms) or hacking a Portal (preferably in the middle of a pasture).

We will keep you updated as more details (and animals) emerge.

The full schedule of Ingress Events in Q2 2026, the Orion Anomaly season, has been published!

This Season continues the trend of a tiered Anomaly Season medal, an exclusive Onsite medal as well as a Global Campaign Medal.

🔸Orion Season Medal (4-tiered):
Based on participation in Ingress First Saturday events and performance in both Global Campaign and Anomaly battles. (The newly added Platinum tier is feasible even without participation in an Anomaly or First Saturday event, provided that Agents participate in Daily Bounties, the Orion Global Campaign and the other free global events. Skipping even one makes it much more difficult)
🔸Commemorative Orion Onsite Medal (single-tiered): Earned simply by participating in any Anomaly battle onsite.
🔸Global Campaign Medal (3-tiered): Based solely on performance during the Global Campaign.

The Ingress First Saturday for April will be the first opportunity of this year for Agents to receive access to the ITO EN Dispatch Campaign, together with the exclusive ITO EN Medal!

IFS organizers will, depending on the amount of people that have RSVPed, recieve a number of passcodes that will award access to the ITO EN Dispatch campaign. Organizers can decide themselves how they want to distribute these codes, but Fev Games encourages them to be prizes for the IFS.

If you can make it to an IFS, then April will be the perfect time to attend as you will not only get a tick for your First Saturday badge, a chance for the ITO EN Dispatch Campaign and x2 AP, but also Tokens for the new Orion Anomaly Season that will count towards the new, 4-tier Anomaly Season medal!
