Hello Explorers,
Happy Tuesday! We will be running some backend maintenance this week that may affect some of the in-game Wayspot images. You may notice the effect between 11/3/2021 through 11/5/2021. This is different from the Upcoming Server Maintenance in Pokémon GO which is not tied to this. We hope to have this finished soon and we’ll be sure to update you once it’s done. Check out the original post HERE.
Thanks for your understanding. Safe Exploring!

Are you at any liberty to explain more about what the purpose of this maintenance is? Will it fix any known issues (or indeed any issues that we aren't aware of)?
Thanks for the heads up nice to see communication in advance.
Just to clarify does this have potential to affect all games?
Between March and May 2021? Oh right, American date format lol
Will this maintenance fix the images not loading in wayfarer? Those that are always gray, etc...
If I understand what you're referring to - some wayspots just don't have images (usually - but not always - wayspots migrated by Niantic directly from Foursquare). The only way to "fix" that is via user-submitted photos.
"Back end maintenance" .. there's laxatives for being that full of so-and-so
I'm still waiting for photos! What always happens that photos that should be added via Ingress do not find their way into the game and the wayspots !?
I have a wayspot that the photo was accepted a couple of days ago is not showing up in ingress and pokemon go even though a wayspot approved yesterday has had the sync in both games today.
Been happening for about 6 months now. About time Niantic fixed this as some are no longer improving pictures of bad POI because it's pointless if the accepted ones don't appear.
Too many long term silly problems like this. They need fixing faster. Ingress players have not had increases in their accepted nominations stats pages for how long now?
Less PR telling us what wonderful things are going to happen eventually one day and fix basic things you broke so long ago
Is the maintenance still on going?
For some strange reason I cannot submit nominations with the correct location. I take my pictures and upload later when I have free time. I select the location of the object or place and after filling in everything ready to submit, the location has jumped back to my current location.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I assume it is the issue of summiting a nomination. I do notice when you take a picture of the nomination, the game shuts off and needs to reload, and you have to start over. This happens almost every time for me. Yes, I clear my game, restarted my phone, clear data, etc. The issue is annoying but works fine the 2nd time you send it. This may be due to many people sending them in at once, it must some how effect others.
For months I have been getting emails to say that photos have been accepted but most do not show in any games. The first time I resubmitted after it didnt show for a while but then later they all showed up and now it has duplicate photos. So I havent resubmitted any more, but have tried upvoting photos in either game to push a sync. Some show have shown up in one game or another weeks after acceptance but many still have not.
Got my recent photos in ingress now finally....
@NianticTintino Why is this post about a 2-day long maintenance from NOVEMBER still pinned to the top of general discussion? This maintenance was completed nearly SIX MONTHS AGO. This is highly irrelevant, just as most of the pinned announcement posts are. Please revise the posts that are pinned to General Discussion.
Wayspot image syncs are broken, so needs more maintenance ;P
