Anonymous Coward User ID: 3690403 United States 06/19/2020 01:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its to finish uploading an app. So its already there. Here is a little of what I copied from the "learn more": "How the app may determine exposure The government public health authority determines which factors might indicate exposure. If the app learns that you've come in contact with someone who reports themselves as having COVID-19, the system shares with the app: The day the contact happened. How long the contact lasted. The Bluetooth signal strength of that contact. The public health authority app is not allowed to use your phone's location. The Exposure Notifications System itself does not use your location or share other users’ identities with the app, Google, or Apple. If you have COVID-19 In the public health app, you may report yourself as having COVID-19. The app may ask you to share your random IDs. This helps the public health authority to notify others. The app may then check if your random IDs are stored on other people's devices. It may alert others who came in contact with you. Those other people won't know your identity." |

User ID: 76359830 United States 06/19/2020 01:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks! I was just going through my phone looking for Covid apps that had been stealthily installed and then saw your post! Sneaky Google, I should have known to look under those settings. I normally have my bluetooth turned off, but still, not good. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 71204224 United States 06/19/2020 01:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was in my settings, went to google from settings. Quoting: Deplorable Azila_Again There at the top is COVID-19 Exposure Settings Please tell me what this mess is and how did it get there? Thanks This was discussed last night, it was in the last update you did. Throw your phone away go back to land lines. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 3690403 United States 06/19/2020 01:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I found it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73169833 Goto settings, google settings. It says you have to install a 'PARTICIPATING APP' to turn it on. Doesn't seem like it's automatically doing it. "Use the COVID-19 Exposure Notifications System on your Android phone To help understand whether you've been exposed to someone who reports having COVID-19, you can turn on Exposure Notifications. If you change your mind, you can turn it off. To use the system, you need to download your public health authority's app. If you have COVID-19, you may share that info with the app to help alert the people you've been in contact with. If you've been exposed to someone who has shared they have COVID-19, the app will notify you and give you further instructions." Yes. The setting are already in place. You go to your local health dept site and download their app. Hard to believe most people who need to do this, doing it. Obviously its already in place. |

So would a code writer make a browser when no one will use it because it is not google. |
