Any nominations made with “existing photo” option is instantly rejected before even showing up in Wayfarer.
No email and the main photo is not showing in Wayfarer. Support photo shows up after some time.
It’s not going through review; it’s rejected right after submitting. I’ve tried multiple times.
This has been the case ever since the “existing photos” was made available for PoGo.
I have tried with both upload now and upload later.
Nominations are done in Norway, if that is relevant information.

When it was submitted, did you get a proper confirmation email?
Nope, no confirmation email.
Thanks for responding!
Well, it's strange.
@NianticTintino @NianticGiffard would you please prioritize this report?
Hello @Noddiio-PGO,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Bringing it to the team for investigation. Please keep us posted if any changes happen.
@ArcticMankeys56-PGO this is the thread I was on about on reddit
Thanks
@NianticTintino ive had same problem today. Six nominations all instant rejected.
I use existing photos submitting from home on Wifi because my towns signal is so iffy. I’ve done all six and now logged into wayfarer to find all with rejection tags, and 5 of the 6 show no photo.
any update on this bug?
Yeah this is a serious issue... of course they always fix the benefits we have and make the system buggier and more glitchy everyday
@NianticTintino ive had six instantly rejected submission happen today. Most have no photo on wayfarer.
they were all submission using existing photos in my gallery (my towns signal is so iffy I do submissions from home). I have logged into wayfarer to find instant rejects and had no confirmation emails.
any update to why this is happening?
Hi! Thanks for investigating the issue.
I tried when the last Wayfarer update for 2021 came out, but I ran into the same issue (Nominated December 8th)
I tried again now that the new emails were launched to see if something changed.
And it has! My “existing photos” nomination now went through. I received the new email fairly quickly and the nomination is in the Nominations tab on Wayfarer. Everything seems good now. (I hope it’s resolved for good and that it’s not a one time thing!)
BUT, I can’t talk for others of course.
@ArcticMankeys56-PGO : Tagging you to check if the issue is resolved for you as well :)
Is this happening again? Having the same issue today, I got 2 pokéstops accepted using the same method before, last one on the 8th December.
My bad, I've been copyrighting my own photos using Lightroom app.
I haven’t had an issue for a little while, but I just wait for it to reappear haha.

Hi again! The issue is back for me, sadly. I now have a new phone, iPhone 13 Pro on iOS 15.3.1.
I haven’t actually nominated any new POI since the last one finally went through, so hard to say when it became an issue again.
Is this still under investigation? I see other posts going around mentioning this issue. Hope the team can find a quick solution for this.. :)
Just for info, I had this same problem submitting using Ingress Prime at one point in the very distant past. I wondered at the time if it was because I don't have GPS co-ord/location info embedded in my photos/exif data but a later Ingress update resolved it. Assumed it was just a bug but never found out if it was exif info related or not
Not sure if the info is relevent to your issue or not but posting it just in case
