Apple and Google coronavirus notification software will be built into iOS and Android
announced on Tuesday that future versions of the iOS and Android operating systems will include the companies' Covid-19 notification system that previously required users to install an app.
If one of the phone's users were to test positive for Covid-19, then the system could send a push notification to other participating phones that they may have been exposed to the virus. The ability to opt-in to the system without downloading an app is intended to improve adoption of the system, which would improve its effectiveness because it requires a large number of people sharing Bluetooth signals to work.
