How to Turn on COVID Exposure Notifications on iPhone – Guide
A new coronavirus outbreak is coming and your phone may be able to help. More than 182 million Americans have the option to receive pop-up notifications from local health authorities for spending time in person with someone who later tested positive for the coronavirus. There are early signs that this anonymous smartphone technology is working — but so far it’s not helping many Americans. In August 2020, I wrote about the first of these government-sponsored alerts, Virginia’s Covidwise app. In the next three months, only 488 people used the state’s app to send notices of a positive diagnosis to others.
After doing this, your notifications will be activated. This will allow you to receive notifications from the NHS COVID-19 app. This includes exposure notifications to notify you if you have been in close contact with someone who tests positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) and on-site warnings. Alerts use software built into iPhone and Android devices by Apple and Google to detect when people (or the phones they are holding each other) are in close contact with each other. This may sound like an invasion of privacy, but they found out.
Enable COVID exposure notifications
If you are near someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19, the iPhone’s exposure notification feature will send you a notification. If you’re worried that you may have missed a notification, or if you want to make sure you received one, you can check for them by following these steps. ..
Settings Open the Settings app.
Scroll down and tap the three lines in the top left corner of the screen. Tap the “Exposure Notifications” button. You can now see all of your current exposure notifications, including those from third-party apps. ..
Tap View in-app to see exhibits at the top of the screen.
If you’re using an app to keep track of your exposure to radiation, make sure to check for exposure notifications regularly. Depending on your local health authority, these notifications will direct you to different apps with different interfaces and different ways of organizing the information, but all of the records should be prominently highlighted so you don’t miss them. ..
