Niantic's Wayfarer is a tool which allows players (aka Wayfinders) to make nominations an review points of interest in the game - meaning gyms and Pokéstops where
Pokémon Go is concerned.
Having say over what stops are and aren't in the game is something that trainers have looked forward to since the games initial inception back in 2016 but it wasn't a sure thing until it was recently announced. Unfortunately for trainers it seems that Niantic has pulled it almost as soon as they launched it though, as you can see by the following tweet from Niantic Support.
"Overwhelming response" is something you think the company would have seen coming, considering this is a feature that has been coveted by players for years now. When it does become available again, let's hope it is either fixed or gets rolled out a bit at a time so that players can actually experience what it has to offer instead of living in a carrot on a stick situation.
While we wait for that carrot, go ahead and check out the trailer for the Wayfarer update explaining all of its capabilities that way when it (hopefully) returns soon you'll be ready for it! Keep in mind that only level 40 players are allowed to contribute. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Niantic Wayfarer is a platform where the Niantic community, Wayfinders, can nominate, review, and edit Niantic Wayspots across the globe. In doing so, while they explore they can help shape the future of their Niantic experiences.
Wayspots are unique places that exist in the real world that range from historic landmarks all the way to hyper-local street art. If a nomination gets enough positive reviews, it will become a new Wayspot and may populate Niantic games.
Pokémon Go is currently available on iOS and Android. We will update you when Wayfarer submissions become available again.
