    And now Google installed without asking anyone's permission a covid19 tracking on android phones.
    "Apple and Google have announced to make adjustments to their Android and iOS operating systems to improve contact tracking based on Bluetooth. To this end, they have designed an API that can be used by apps from public health organizations. Like the DP-3T model, this API works decentralized: data is only stored locally and only sent to a server after an infection has been detected".

    Google has now installed the API
    (a set of functions and procedures allowing the creation of applications that access the features or data of an operating system, application, or other service)
    on Android smartphones without asking anyone's permission, and for the sake of convenience has also turned this API on by default.

    If you want to disable the tracking, go to Settings, and then to Google Settings. Then you will see the line called "Exposure notifications for Covid-19". Then click on the three dots in the top right corner of the screen. Then select "Usage and diagnostic data" and click OFF.

    The Covid-19 track and trace app has not been automatically downloaded onto people’s phones


    Claim
    https://fullfact.org/health/covid-19...eoples-phones/

    The NHS track and trace app is being automatically downloaded onto phones.
    Conclusion

    This is incorrect. What has been added is an API, which can help Covid-19 tracking apps function. The official tracking app is not available in the UK yet, outside of testing in the Isle of Wight.

    We’ve seen a claim circulating on Facebook that the NHS Covid-19 “track and trace” app has been automatically downloaded onto people’s Android phones under the name “COVID-19 exposure notifications”.

    The claim that the app has been automatically downloaded is incorrect. What has been added to both Android and Apple phones is the Exposure Notification API. This is not an app itself—it’s an underlying technology developed by Apple and Google that allows coronavirus tracking apps made by public health bodies to work across devices.

    The UK’s official tracing app has not yet left its testing stage, and has not been available for download outside of the Isle Of Wight. The version of the app that was being tested at the time this post was originally published did not use the Apple/Google Exposure Notification API, opting for a different technical approach. This approach has since been abandoned in favour of the Apple/Google system.

    Even when the app does become available, downloading it will not be mandatory—the NHS says “people will always have the choice of whether or not to download the app”.

    If you do not have a tracing app that uses it installed on your phone, then the Exposure Notification API is turned off by default, and users will have to make “an explicit choice” to turn it on. Users will also be able to turn the API off if they want (even after downloading an app) in their phone’s settings.

    Apple and Google have suggested that they have an intention to create a system which operates without the need for an app, but it’s unclear how that will work or operate at the current time.

    This article is part of our work fact checking potentially false pictures, videos and stories on Facebook. You can read more about this—and find out how to report Facebook content—here. For the purposes of that scheme, we’ve rated this claim as partly false because this is not the track and trace app.

    Update 18 June 2020

    This piece has been updated to reflect the change in technical approach to the UK's tracing app.

    Update 22 June 2020

    We have updated this article to mention Google and Apple's suggestion that they might create a system for coronavirus tracking that operates without the need for an app in the future.
