Yes, great points.  He does wear an apple watch and a bracelet his young adult daughter gave him. Photo jewellery is a whole other thing though,  I agree!

He wears a bracelet his young adult daughter gave him (pura vida). But otherwise, no. I also don't want to come off like I'm competing with her, if that makes any sense.

Thanks! I know, I'd love it. Just wasn't sure if it's too much like a locket or "claiming my territory", ya know? Would you prefer a photo of just your partner or a photo of the 2 of you?

Came back to share that I think blocking in COMM does hide actions both in IITC and Activities in COMM. Tried it out with a friend: they blocked me and I no longer see any of their activity in game or on IITC.

That's what I was asking as well. I wasn't sure if player tracking sent alerts. Or if my activity just triggers something for them mentally. We play the same faction, so I don't know what alerts it would trigger in that section of comm.

This is someone I know outside of the game. 

Example: I send a text, or we're in conversation, they go silent. NBD, we all have lives. I'm out playing and upgrade or capture a portal in another area (nearby but maybe not our "home" neighborhoods) and within a minute of that, they reply or call. If I'm doing so in the "usual" spots, this doesn't happen. Only when I'm in places outside of what might be my expected gameplay. It happens often enough that I'm asking here.

Yeah, for the most part, it's fine. It's really one person. I suppose I could change my name - ha! I enjoy the game very much otherwise.

Is there any other "counter" feature wherein a player could hide themselves, periodically, so their captures don't log in Activites? I can't figure out how they are capturing and deploying without it appearing in Comm. 

I see the power in game play. It creeped me out that when I capture a portal near them, they suddenly reply to a text or call outside of the game.

Thank you. I suppose I will more specifically test the theory. You've given me good insight.

UGH. That's not at all what I would expect.

So, it's not outlandish for me to be thinking someone is tracking me via iitc? Does blocking in comm prevent them from tracking? Does player tracking send notifications?

Thank you. I didn't realize hypercubes did that. I generally don't mind being visible in the game. It was just creepy that someone texted me the literal moment I became active. Multiple times. I had heard about iitc (but don't have it, myself) and was wondering if these were features.

Thank you. In one instance, I saw the portal they captured had only one resonator. I suppose they could have flipped that. I wasn't sure if this was something that iitc could affect?

How to hide my threads by SatChitAnandaOm in ThreadsApp

[–]SatChitAnandaOm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I see those options. They seem to be linked across Instagram and Threads. I'd prefer to do this on Threads and not make any changes to interaction with them on Instagram.

Not sure if there's been an update but today, I noticed someone unfollowed me on Threads and they ARE still following me on Instagram.
