Over the last few days, both Google<\/a> and Apple<\/a> have made available their Covid-19 exposure tracking technology in India. Most of us would not have realized it, but the app has made its way to our devices. A quick peek into the settings menu shows that the feature is present and if not active, it may soon see a green light.<\/p>\n

To recall, this is the same solution that saw a rare collaboration between both the arch-rivals – Apple and Google and was announced<\/a> in April. The idea behind this app was to create a self-sufficient alarm system with the help of smartphones to alert users in case a person, they’ve come in touch with in the recent past, tests positive.<\/p>\n
