Is this some sort of Android thing or something? I don?t think I even have any of those settings options on the iPhone.
They are on both Android and iOS. Those are operating hooks for if you have installed and activated any Covid-19 related apps to identify if you've come into contact with someone that is tested positive. The technology being leveraged is Bluetooth. Nothing happens if you don't install any Covid-19 tracking apps. The setting can also be disabled in case you have a tendency to accidentally install applications.Originally Posted by ray1970
These settings have been there for months and were widely discussed in many technical articles/websites, and some not too technical.
ETA: Should have read the 2nd page of the thread before responding. You guys got this.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

How did it get there? Apps on your phone are constantly updating..
It's on mine but it's "Off". Probably in one of the last updates.

"Stop Resisting Arrest!"
Same here.
Its "off" by default for now, at some point an update could turn it on. If you have location services shut off on your phone (which if you've got even a modicum of OPSEC you do) then it'll be off and stay off.
That said, its a good idea to check your security and privacy settings on a routine basis as Alphabet and Apple are both notorious for making changes to your devices without your knowledge/permission.
I really need to jailbreak my phone and move to a custom, Google free ROM.
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
There’s a “COVID-19 Exposure Logging” setting in iOS too... been there for a couple months. It’s off by default though.
Please leave any relevant feedback here:

So what? It knows when I go grocery shopping without a mask?
