Apple and Google exposure notification
Apple and Google's exposure notification systems are technology tools designed to help identify potential COVID-19 exposures while respecting user privacy. Using Bluetooth, their apps exchange anonymous codes with nearby phones. If someone tests positive, they can alert others who've been close without revealing identities. The system, built into iOS and Android, minimizes data collection and decentralizes information, ensuring privacy. It helps users take precautions sooner, reducing virus spread while allowing them to control their data. Overall, it’s a collective effort to enhance contact tracing using secure, privacy-preserving technology.
