Apple rolls out iOS 13.7 update with Covid-19 tracking tool

Apple has released the latest iOS 13.7 for all users. The new update brings access to the COVID-19 exposure notification. Besides that, the new update also brings Memoji stickers, bug fixes, etc.

According to the report, if you choose to opt-in for the Covid-19 Exposure Notification, your phone can take note when you come in contact with others and let you know if anyone you have come in contact with tests positive.

Apple along with Google had updated the iPhone and Android devices with COVID-19 Exposure Notification API that could be used to track Covid-19 patients, and their contacts but in most countries, the new tool remained inaccessible. It didn’t work because as per the guidelines laid by Apple and Google, users were first required to download an app from their public health authority to activate the COVID exposure notifications in their devices. But thanks to the latest iOS 13.7 update, users do not require an app to access the notification API anymore.
