• have a strong aesthetic appeal
• celebrate the cross-faction Ingress community
• represent the desire to explore new places
• inspire Ingress agents to be physically active

With the new 2.87.1 update a new feature was introduced, which was not announced in the Release Notes! If you scan portals and save them to upload them later, the settings now show how many scans are saved and how much data needs to be uploaded.
In addition, there is a new progress bar that shows how much has already been uploaded.
With this, Niantic is laying the groundwork for the previously announced feature that will allow a player to save new portal submissions as well as new photos and edit requests for later uploading.

On the Wayfarer forum, a Roadmap of new features, which will find their way into the product next year, was posted. Among them are some updates for Ingress around portal contributions.
Starting in January/February it will be possible to save your portal contributions for photos and portal submissions for later. In addition, the method for calculating limits for submissions will change from a 14-day system to a daily accrual system. Also, in the future, it will be mandatory to pass the Wayfarer test before submitting portal contributions such as photos, portal suggestions, or title/description suggestions.
Danbocat, the Wayfarer Community Manager, is also trying to get portal suggestions revised by summer so that you can check for duplicates that are not shown in Ingress before submitting a suggestion. However, this feature has not been officially confirmed yet.
