On the guise of making life easier for you, Apple’s new updates for its iPhones come with face mask and contact tracing capabilities app-ready. That means as soon as the planned contact tracing apps become operational, you can download them and be ready to be traced and contacted with COVID-19 exposure notifications.
If this is something you want and you also believe in wearing a mask at all times, then Apple says the new updates also provide an easy work-around so you can keep your mask on. Although privacy advocates are skeptical, Apple and Google both say there is no reason for concern.
