Cell Phones Tracker app

[Jstwaiting]

A few weeks ago you may recall there was a significant outage of cell phone coverage - no explanation given.

On a tip - I checked my smart phone settings for privacy - health. Lo and behold there is a Covid 19 tracker app there. IT is turned off but if "they" can put it there at their discretion - I am sure they can turn it on.

The tip I got said it was installed during the cell phone outage.

A couple of ways you can look at this - none of them are good. Thinking of going back to my Trac phone or just SSB CB radio.

I believe it was installed as a part of the last update.

theres been an available update out there for quite some time for apple devices that would install the necessary background stuff for a contact tracing but you have to have a separate application to assist with it

How do you find out if it is there? What are you looking for?

Yup, this is why I'm turning into a Luddite slowly. Too many people trade their privacy for convenience.
