As in title. When people (myself included) were submitting through the Wayfarer app, a few times waypoits that should have appeared in ingress and pogo just didn't, despite meeting all inclusion rules (20m, free cell etc). The one of my e it happened to still hasn't appeared but nia did say they were looking to fix it, has anyone's been fixed (or found a way to fix it) or has this just been forgotten and dropped through the cracks?
P.s. before anyone brings it up, this was before we were told not tk submit through the app but were in fact encouraged to

No they haven’t…….and it’s very frustrating as I can’t resubmit or do anything and they can block other POI
And it is on the Ambassador list.
Can you provide your examples please I haven’t given up.
I only had one accepted but not showing. It is still in the database only.
This is the one that's still not in game for me
Hey @Gazzas89-PGO, as you understand our Wayfarer App is currently dedicated to our Lightship developers to allow them to nominate wayspots from which they can build AR experiences using our Visual Positioning System (VPS).
The majority of the wayspot submitted by our developers are added to the Niantic Map but not available for our first party games to use. This is the expected behavior of using the Wayfarer App with a developer profile.
Is there a fix planned for this? It seems very poorly planned if the "intended behavior" is for wayspots submitted by developers to make it permanently impossible for the corresponding real-world objects to be used as wayspots in regular Niantic games.
I'm sure this is the current situation, which is fine but when the app was released there was a lack of clarity about its use. When asked to pull back from submitting most people did. But there were some submitted around that time that got caught up in this. Perfectly good wayspots such as Saturn above. The key issue is that they appear on the duplicates check so they can't be submitted via ordinary means as they will show as duplicate. They can also block other wayspots from appearing.
@NianThib The problem is that a Developer's nomination:
...because that invisible Developer nomination shows on the Wayfarer review duplicate map.
@NianThib This morning I submitted two wayspot, I just found out we were not supposed to submit. Is there any way I can take them back? I don't want this nominations to be blocked from appearing in the games
Yeah I knew that first bit. But when we were originally submittj g through the app it was encouraged and, when it was discovered some weren't appearing in game, was told that the teams were working on a fix. I'm wanting g tk k ow whays happening g with that fix
If though, as you say, the first party games aren't supposed to get rhem when they are submitted through the app, then why do they appear on the submission and review maps. Surely since they aren't appearing in games when they should then they shouldn't appear on the review and submission maps?
Niantic never encouraged players to use the app to submit nominations.
Have resubmitted this and had it auto rejected for dupe, hoping it will force it to appear in game
Let me know if it does.
every time I walk past 2 if mine I sigh
My appeal was marked as a duplicate but there is nothing showing on IITC or in Pokemon. It shows on Wayfarer app but has been a few days and hasnt synced. I may have tried submitting this through Wayfarer app before being told not to use it but never received any confirmation.
@FunneIWeb-ING you might want to remove one of the photos because of the address.
But thanks for this example and interesting it is marked as a duplicate but the photo not added.
Nothing last night, but it was rejected yesterday afternoon, so there's still a chance it missed whatever checkpoint it needed, so it might appear tonight ..... not getting my hopes up though
@Gazzas89-PGO I think an issue may be that I don't think the AI duplicate rejects add the photo to the wayspot.
Just before they asked us not to use the wayfarer app I had heard people were getting much faster acceptances but also that some were not showing in games, so I submitted a few as a test. I didnt receive any emails to confirm they were received but they did show up as provisional wayspots in the wayfarer app. I just duplicated a couple of my old submissions that I wasnt really bothered about because they wouldnt show in all games and put the old ones on hold. They asked us not to use it a few days later and I never heard anything so I unheld my original submissions. I cant see any way to check what I actually submitted now, unless i'm missing something? I know a few were still accepted by the community and synced to games. The only example I know of the top of my head is this statue, where it now appears twice on the wayfarer app... https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=53.571971,-2.603672
The Busy Bees Community Garden was rejected (not duplicate) so I appealed to Niantic, and then it was marked as a duplicate. So I guess Niantic see all of the wayspots in Lightship but the community dont? I wonder if this is now visible to community reviewers?
The logbook has a list I think.
@The26thDoctor-PGO oh, thats new. It says they are all still in review, including the Busy Bees which was marked as a duplicate. Is there any way to remove them?
I don't think so. I guess they are in limbo?
WF App nominations are entering Lightship even if they are not being voted on yet. They will appear as duplicates while reviewing.
Nit all accepted WF App nomiantions do sync. If they don't, nothing will make them Sync, but they are still available in Lightship.
It is an app in Beta and that's why you had to sign up with an Lighsthip account saying that this is for developers, because Wayfarer people were not supposed to access it yet. The consequence is dead spots.
Nothing showed up either. Really, niantic should be looking at this. Like, how can they say things in their database can't appear in game if it meets the inclusion rules? It's their map lmao even if some bs about pokemon go not being theirs, ingress is, it should appear in their own ip
I keep trying @Gazzas89-PGO
