NHS Covid app updated to 'fix' phantom messages
The NHS Covid-19 app has been updated to fix an issue with confusing alerts that pop up suggesting exposure to the virus and then disappear.In fact, the messages are a default privacy notification from either Apple or Google, which provide the underlying contact-tracing technology.
Scotland and Northern Ireland have apps of their own, which have not experienced the "phantom alert" problem. Typical messages read: "Possible Covid-19 exposure. Someone you were near reported having Covid-19. Exposure date, duration and signal strength have been saved."
