Apple and Google are enhancing their contact tracing efforts. A new iPhone software update called Exposure Notifications Express will make it easier to opt into COVID-19 contact-tracing technology so all iPhone owners can turn on exposure notifications.
A new iPhone software update, called Exposure Notifications Express, will make it easier to opt into Apple’s COVID-19 contact-tracing technology, so that all iPhone owners can turn on exposure notifications without downloading a third-party app. The update was announced in a briefing with reporters Tuesday morning.
The technology will be immediately available for iPhone users; Android owners will have access later this month. The iOS 13.7 update could help COVID-19 contact tracing technology get more people to opt in. So far, only six states — Alabama, Arizona, Nevada, North Dakota, Virginia, and Wyoming — have adopted the Apple-Google system, initially announced in May. In all, 25 states and the District of Columbia representing 55% of the U.S. population are considering its use, according to Apple.
