| Apple and Google officially released the first release of anti-corona technology |
Apple and Google announced today (Wednesday) that they will launch the first version of the tracking technology to prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). Authorities in 23 countries on five continents have announced that they are trying to use technology.
Last month, two American companies, which own about 99% of the smartphone operating system market, announced that they would work together to develop a new technology for tracking contacts by letting users choose one other system indicated. Neighboring phones. To slow the spread of the virus.
The two companies said they will work together on technology that allows mobile devices to exchange information over a Bluetooth connection. People warn when they are close to those infected with the virus (Covid-19).
Thanks to this technology (Apple-Google), the government that is fighting the virus will be able to terminate mobile applications in the coming days. This is what the two companies say: Even in no less than 5 minutes, it is possible to monitor the physical distance between users. Subsequent users infected with the virus can use the app to notify the last contact anonymously.
Some governments have praised the system that can help them test and isolate the injured more effectively, rather than just asking the person who meets them so that the injured person can remember people, which increases the chances of some of them to forget them. However, some governments are dissatisfied with the rules set by Apple and Google that limit their ability to collect sites, phone numbers, and other detailed information from users.
Apple and Google prevent authorities from requiring residents to use the app. So far, applications that do not use the technology of the two companies have only relied to a limited extent.
