Tablets and wifi-only devices
- Many tablets, including those without built-in data network connectivity, do not contain built-in GPS sensors.
- In areas or at events with busy or congested mobile data networks, such as Anomalies, tablets may not maintain a strong enough GPS signal to play Ingress.
We cannot guarantee device support: With so many device models and configurations available in different regions, we cannot guarantee that every device that meets the above criteria will be able to play the game.
Note about OS betas: Niantic apps may not function on devices running beta versions of iOS or Android.
