Create Ingress Portal - Here's how
Portals are the central component of Ingress. You can therefore create your own portals if none exist in your region. In this tip, you will read how to create an Ingress portal.
How to create your own Ingress portal
You cannot create a portal directly yourself, but you can submit suggestions for portals. This prevents, for example, that everyone can create ten portals directly in front of their front door in order to level up faster. To submit a proposal:
- Photograph the sight that you want to create as a portal. Make sure your GPS receiver is turned on and geotagging is enabled in the photo options.
- Find the image in your gallery app and click Share.
- Search for "NIA Super Ops".
- Now an Ingress window opens in which you enter the name and description of the portal.
- Click on "Send". The portal proposal is sent to Niantic and checked there. You will receive an email when the portal has been accepted or rejected. However, this can take a few weeks.
Anyone can create portals. However, it is advantageous that you have a high level if you use the portals in the end. Read here how you can gain experience points.
