I encountered a bug: the disappearing Portal

  • Wayspot Title: MWD Cafe & Brunch
  • Location (lat/lon): 24.127003, 120.665537
  • City: Taichung City, Taiwan


This Wayspot was approved several days ago, but it has not appeared in Ingress. I have already checked and confirmed that there are no overlapping Wayspots at this location, so logically, this Portal should be visible in Ingress.

Could you help check if there is a bug? Especially since I used my upgrade points to resubmit it, but it was marked as a duplicate. When I appealed, I was informed that this Wayspot already exists, yet the Portal is still not appearing in Ingress.

Please assist in checking whether there is a bug preventing the Portal from being generated in Ingress. I would really appreciate your help in ensuring that my submitted Portal successfully appears in Ingress.

Thank you for your assistance.

Can no one respond to me? :sob: I really want to know if this is a bug, because it has become a ghost Wayspot—it won’t generate a portal, even though it’s clearly not overlapping with any other Wayspot.

Based on the co-ordinates you provided, I found this.

Unfortunately, your nomination won’t make it into Pokemon Go. Why it isn’t showing up in Ingress is something I can’t answer. I don’t know if there is a sync issue with Ingress.

But u said its duplicate right .. so its not approved.

Or do i miss something here?

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I understand that it won’t appear in Pokémon GO, but it should appear in Ingress, and it doesn’t—that’s why I wanted to check if it might be a bug.

Thank you for your question. The first submission was marked as successful, but the Wayspot did not appear as a portal in Ingress. So I believe the submission might not have actually gone through properly, which is why I submitted it again. I then received a duplicate notice, but since a long time has passed since the first approval and the portal still hasn’t appeared, I wanted to ask if there might be a bug preventing the portal from being generated.


Well the coordinate is correct . I am not sure why it doesnt appear. Maybe niantic team know better.

Thank you. This is indeed the dilemma I am facing, which is why I came to the forum to ask if this might be a bug causing this Wayspot to become a ghost point, preventing it from generating a portal in Ingress. I hope to get an answer… I feel confused and discouraged because the Wayspot I submitted hasn’t appeared in Ingress :sob:.
