I just had it. The Louisiana Dept. of Health has been blowing up my phone trying to get info. I won’t tell them anything.

Phones are enabled to run the app, if loaded.
You still have to take the time to go to the App Store and download an app for it to work.

Meh, my location is always off so they are not tracking me. GPS pulls my battery down too fast.

I’d be more worried that insurance companies would use it to say “well it looks like you were exposed to Covid which can cause X diseases so we won’t cover you because you weren’t responsible”.

I have purposely avoided updating my phone because I knew this would be part of the update. It’s on my phone anyway. This is deeply disturbing to me.

I haven't updated my iPhone since the talk of phone tracking started - not on mine as of today.

Apple did a force update on my phone earlier this week overnight. Luckily, the default is "off", but we know it's tracking anyway. I think off just means it's not sending any notifications to me about anything.

I figured out which trackerman's assigned to my phone and where he lives, so 3 days a week I pack a lunch and park in front of his house and enjoy my sandwich for about 30 or 45 minutes. Poor guy thinks he's a cuck and he doesn't even no he's actually not.
