Coronavirus: New Covid-19 tracing tool appears on smartphones https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53120290

Wow just checked. It’s on mine. Any idea how to get rid of it?

This is on your phone but not as an app. If you click it you would be asked to download the app but this is not an automatic install- just a new entry on Google settings.

 

[Off da Grid]

DON’T PANIC there’s nothing on your phone, it’s just an addition to the software to allow track and trace apps to work with the Apple or Google systems when and if governments bring them out.
But only if you choose to download and agree to the terms and conditions.

Just turn it off

It looks like I would have to download the app. Not much point for me as I don’t carry my phone around all the time.

Don't fall for this fake information from an obvious government plant. We all urgently need lead lined pouches for our phones and tin foil hats...they are out to get us people!!

 

[Rob Hammond]

Holy crap people get a grip ,I’m sure your all be fine ,if not life goes on

 

[Langtoftlad]

I wonder how many who worry about this potential app, have turned off "my timeline" in Google maps ?

 

[Madcaravanner]

IT's not an app
It's not activated until YOU download a track and trace app

For goodness sake it's there JUST IN CASE YOU NEED IT

There is no conspiracy as usual

The only conspiracy that is real is that there are no UFO's and Aliens

I agree about the phone settings but no one knows for sure about the aliens man!

I'd expect most people turn off location, wifi and Bluetooth when they're not using them, if only to make the most of battery life.

Are YOU sure?. Strange goings on in Area 51?. I know, I`ve been there, AND watched "Paul" a few times

Really?
I suspect the vast majority wouldn't bother, especially the location...

 

[Nasher]

The time to start worrying is if you're paranoid and they really are after you

As I've posted before, the only spam I get is 'Adult Dating' and everyone who knows me will tell you that, despite my date of birth, there is absolutely no way I could ever be classified as an adult

What's google maps?

 

[Captain Yoghurtpot]

What's google maps?

What's a timeline?

 

[DuxDeluxe]

So much rubbish flying around on farcebook about this with people blaming Bojo and goodness knows who else in power...... they don’t realise that with their constant social media postings and check-ins that their information etc is already known, without any tracing app that may be installed in the future

 

[Langtoftlad]

What's google maps?

Do you have a smart phone?

What's a timeline?

Location history... if not turned off, it will make a record of your daily movement.

 

[Nasher]

.. if not turned off, it will make a record of your daily movement.

I normally have two daily movements, the first after my second morning coffee and then another one about half an hour later - I didn't know the government could record them, do they record how much toilet paper I use as well?
