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.

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.
