It's impressive and even managed to download it straight away.

The track and trace app?

Yes, sorry, big news here

[Hilts]

They dont say how much mobile data it uses and cant find an answer. So installed it easy enough but uninstalled it when I couldnt get an answer to data usage.

I’ve got a 6 and downloaded it

It works for a 6S I believe. I've got IOS 12.4 and am up to date with downloads - you need 13.5 apparently.

I like to stay a few years behind the new phone tech too. What I’m looking at now is that it’s saying I’m in a medium risk area, do they count the fact I live opposite the Heath hospital and the Covid ward is less than 1000 ft from my front door?

Get a new Samsung phone Bob. Switch to Android. You wont regret it.

[WJ99mobile]

Me.

Do your bit innit

[Trigger]

I have, I wonder what chances you have of being within close enough proximity to someone with covid for it to alert you. I suppose slim especially considering they would also need the app.

Just imagining a situation where if you were particularly unlucky your employer would start to think you were taking the piss.

Being all techy for a moment, the app relies on the Bluetooth on your phone to detect the BT on someone else's phone and then decides if you're <2m from it. But BT has an location accuracy of only about 10m, so it will surely over predict the number of contacts you've had.

[Whisperer]

I said in another thread that I don’t take my phone everywhere these days, I never take it to the gym so bit of a pointless exercise, but I do adhere to the hands, face and space theory.

You should be able to download iOS 13.7 which comes with a built-in track and trace app.

It's fab. Haven't quite got the hang of swiping left or right yet, but it'll get there. Covid dating. It's the future.

[Grangenders]

I live in a low risk area. But the app is telling me I’m in a medium risk area ....

[life on mars]

yep downloaded, right thing to do in my opinion, if it helps to keep folk safe let's do it
