Australians running the Covidsafe contact tracing app on iPhones may not be recording all the data required if they don’t have the app running in the foreground or they are using an older model phone, the government has admitted.
Maybe if I got a stimulus payment I could buy a new phone and stop using this iPhone
I was all for this app but I can’t say I’m surprised by this at all. As a user, every technological exchange I’ve had with the Australian Government has been unpleasant.
It’s also not available outside of the Aus App Store. So many people like me have phones locked to the US App Store, for example. We’re unable to download.
yeah can't wait to download an app my MP is writing release notes for
Wish the Guardian app was the same!
So in Morrison’s own words he can’t reach his reliable download target hence he cannot open up anybpdd as it of the economy?
The headline should make it clear it’s about an Australian app, not the UK one.
To help establish trust in the NHS contact tracing app it should be open sourced and available on GitHub. The IT industry need a campaign to make this happen. OpenSourceNHSApp
JerryHicksUnite Of course it failed. Everything else has. Hancock's targets for one.
I’m not downloading it. It isn’t even functioning on any device yet.
IMHO what was the total cost of this app? If it’s not opt in then it shouldn’t be allowed.
I assume the app is called Covfefe in the U.S?

UK racing to improve contact-tracing app's privacy safeguardsWorries public will not use app after security specialists and MPs raise concerns Is it April 1st? Why would they wait until the end of the pandemic to delete the data? Surely once the data is 21 days old it can be deleted? I'd prefer them to do it in a considered, measured manner rather than 'racing' as racing rarely improves software.

How the coronavirus app actually works – and what will happen if you receive an alertThe UK is finally testing an app that it hopes will prove one part of its fight against coronavirus. The app – officially known as NHS COVID-19, and made for iOS and Android – is being trialled in To be honest we at the government have no idea how the virus tracking app works, but we've been trying to get around all that pesky human rights legislation for years to impose something like this on you.
