When you are submitting data to Niantic, like Wayspot nominations, you have several upload options to best manage your data consumption.

Upload Immediately

Immediately after completing a Wayspot nomination, you can choose to upload immediately. Tap Upload Now to proceed with your choice.

Upload While Playing

If you were to close the upload screen while uploading, the upload will continue in the background while you continue to play Pokémon GO. You can check on the progress of your upload by tapping on the Poké Ball menu and looking in the top right corner of the main menu. When uploads are in process, Uploading will appear here.

Upload Later

If you want to wait until you have a Wi-Fi connection or just aren’t ready to upload your Wayspot nomination immediately, you can tap Upload Later. This will save your Wayspot nomination and allow you to complete the upload process later.

To reinitiate your upload, tap the Poké Ball menu, and then tap Upload from the top right corner of the main menu. This will initiate the upload of all AR scans and Wayspot Nominations you have in your queue.

Upload Errors

If your upload encounters an error on any one of the uploads in your queue, the Upload icon on the main menu will turn red. Tap it to retry your upload.

From the Settings menu, you will also see an error flag on the scan in the upload queue. Tap Retry to retry your upload.
