Covid: Exposure notification developed by Apple, Google begins rolling out in India

The ‘Exposure Notification’ solution developed by US tech majors Apple and Google has started rolling out on iPhone and Android devices in India. The solution enables contact-tracing apps developed by governments to function reliably. Notably, India’s contact-tracing platform Aarogya Setu is not compatible with the ‘Exposure Notification’ solution.

 “For Google, no decision has been taken as of now. We will check what requirements are they asking and then decide accordingly whether we want to participate,” said a Ministry of Electronics spokesperson.
