Re: Android users** I found some COVID tracking crap in my settings
Just checked mine and it is not there but I also have notifications blocked so maybe that has something to do with it?

I don't have it either, nor the memory amount left to install any app.

Says it can notify me if I’ve been near someone who has reported having COVID.

Our damn Govt has gone too far kicking everyone’s privacy to the curb.

Ridiculous

I don't have bluetooth or location enabled, so that setting on my phone was never enabled.

I found it.

Goto settings, google settings.


It says you have to install a 'PARTICIPATING APP' to turn it on. Doesn't seem like it's automatically doing it.

 Quoting: Deplorable Azila_Again


Oh shit, you're right!

I just searched my settings for COVID and get this:

COVID-19 Notifications

To turn on COVID-19 Exposure Notifications, install or finish setting up a participating app.

______________________________________

Delete random IDs

Turn off Exposure Notifications
______________________________________


(i) The app can notify you if you've been near someone who reported having COVID-19.

The date, duration, and signal strength associated with an exposure will be shared with the app.

Your phone uses Bluetooth to securely collect and share random IDs with other phones that are nearby. Random IDs are automatically deleted after 14 days.

If you have COVID-19, you can choose to share your phone's random IDs with the app so it can notify others anonymously.

Device location needs to be on to detect Bluetooth devices near you, however, COVID-19 Exposure Notifications don't use device location.

Root your phone and get rid of *all* google apps. And at the very least, turn off automatic updates.

Ya, location is just gps. They can still determine location by tracking which towers you're connected to. Location is unimportant for this though, don't overworry about it.

But you need to turn off automatic updates for the phone and each app. They can do nefarious things as well.

Here you go fart sniffers

"Each user gets to decide whether or not to opt-in to exposure notifications; the system does not collect or use location from the device; and if a person is diagnosed with COVID-19, it is up to them whether or not to report that in the public health app," a news release from Google and Apple states. The companies noted that "strong privacy protections are also the best way to encourage use of these apps."
