Re: How do I use the new COVID-19 tracking feature in IOS 13.5?

['Kawal Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries]

So where is this app on the I phone as I updated my phone this morning and 
thought I’d find the settings for the app in health.  However I am in the UK 
and the Government are not wanting to use it.  I think they should as their NHS 
app is not working for them and they are under pressure to do tract trace as 
the schools won’t open if they don’t well some of them!

Yeah Petrus
I had a look at it lastnight but haven’t done anything with it.

It turns out most businesses don’t have the qr codes relating to the app and 
store related information.

Good old government slow behind the 8 ball,

RE: How do I use the new COVID-19 tracking feature in IOS 13.5?

[Simon A Fogarty]

Yes Tim that is what I believe also.

They have created the API’s for the covid apps that others will create,

But in this case apple have some form of covid tracking tool included in Ios 
13.5
But still it is meant that other developers create the tracking apps and use 
the apple / google provided api’s

The NZ government has put out an app,
But they haven’t provided retail outlets or other types of companys the qr code 
or related tracking tools.

Hi,

My understanding is that various health or government agencies who have 
developed apps for tracking would request this data.  It kind of depends on 
your local/regional government.  I agree in that it is not well explained.  
Take note though, that this is not only an Apple initiative.  It’s developed by 
both Apple and Google for implementation on both platforms.  I’m hoping that 
someone like Mac Rumours or some other Internet big-wig puts out a better 
explanation of the process to the masses.

In further reading, many of the apps that will work with this technology have 
yet to be developed or released.  Here’s a bit of an explanation from a 
Canadian prospective.

Re: How do I use the new COVID-19 tracking feature in IOS 13.5?

[Jonathan Cohn]

One of the features that Apple and Google proposed was to only allow health 
workers to mark somebody as being exposed to the disease. This way, one can't 
freak out everybody that went to the Fraternity party with you last week.

Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

You got further than I did, I can't find anything in my Privacy settings about 
the app.

Re: How do I use the new COVID-19 tracking feature in IOS 13.5?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Yeah, I agree. There should have been better information up front, and the 
whole effort should have been coordinated by Apple and Google. That way 
individuals in a given state could opt in, whether or not their state does.

Cheers,

Re: How do I use the new COVID-19 tracking feature in IOS 13.5?

[Mary Otten]

This is just an API that Apple and Google have built. In order to use it, you 
need an app. To the best of my knowledge, only three states have said they are 
participating in this program at this time, many have not said, and some have 
said no. It will be up to the health authority of each state to build their own 
app. Google and Apple should have built the app in my view. This is going to be 
slow, incomplete, and probably not very well done, e.g. look at what’s 
happening in the united kingdom where their app has been delayed. The three 
states that have said yes our Alabama, North Dakota, and I believe North 
Carolina. States that I’ve said no include Maryland, Pennsylvania, California, 
Texas, and others.

Re: How do I use the new COVID-19 tracking feature in IOS 13.5?

['Maria Reyes' via MacVisionaries]

my understanding is that it works through bluetooth. so I'm guessing you would 
have to log if you have COVID-19 into an app and your phone will notify you if 
you have been exposed. there aren't any apps yet.

Re: How do I use the new COVID-19 tracking feature in IOS 13.5?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Nice article, Tim. Thanks for sharing.

I guess I'm with you. I hope more information is forthcoming. the fact that 
this is a shared effort between Apple and Google is, to my thinking, part of 
what makes it cool, and gives it such potential. It would be a shame for that 
potential to be wasted, either because the supporting apps don't exist, or 
because users aren't given information about what apps they need to install.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: How do I use the new COVID-19 tracking feature in IOS 13.5?

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

My understanding is that various health or government agencies who have 
developed apps for tracking would request this data.  It kind of depends on 
your local/regional government.  I agree in that it is not well explained.  
Take note though, that this is not only an Apple initiative.  It’s developed by 
both Apple and Google for implementation on both platforms.  I’m hoping that 
someone like Mac Rumours or some other Internet big-wig puts out a better 
explanation of the process to the masses.

In further reading, many of the apps that will work with this technology have 
yet to be developed or released.  Here’s a bit of an explanation from a 
Canadian prospective.

The Learn More dialog doesn't really tell you much. It just talks about how 
exposure notification works. It doesn't say anything about what specific apps 
you need to install to use the feature. Under the Active App choice: I see no

Re: How do I use the new COVID-19 tracking feature in IOS 13.5?

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

If you go in to Settings, Privacy, you can see the COVID-19 setting. When 
inside this setting there is a Learn More button. It seems that there are 
certain apps that you can allow access of the COVID-19 tracking system too. 
It’s not available in my region, so I’m not totally familiar with the details 
of how it works.

How do I use the new COVID-19 tracking feature in IOS 13.5?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Hi all,

I just installed IOS 13.5 so I could use the COVID-19 tracking feature. Problem 
is, when I go into settings and enable COVID tracking, it tells me that it 
can't be enabled because I don't have a necessary app installed. So, I went to 
the app store and downloaded the Apple COVID-19 app. I installed it, and 
answered the questions, but I'm still getting the message that COVID tracking 
in settings cannot be enabled. Does anyone know what I need to do to utilize 
this feature? This is really a big miss by Apple. If they expect people to use 
this, they needed to let us know what we need to do.
Cheers,
Donna
