What is the difference between によると and によりますと?


What is the difference between **Aによると、B。** and **Aによりますと、B。**?

In the texts I'm refering to both structures seem to mean 'According to A, it
is B'. However, the first was used in simplified articles, whereas the second
was used in the original articles. So, is it just the case that the second one
is used in more formal situations than the first one or is there something
else to it?




The difference is just whether it's polite or not. There is nothing more than
that.

よりますと is politer than よると.
