Apple and Google pairing up to fight the virus. I keep trying to think of a name for the app. Best I have so far is Goostapple. (Maybe Goostapllo?) If you download this to your phone, I personally think you are an idiot. I could be wrong of course. https://t.co/DOkmAQLua9

Surprised Apple won’t go back to at least iOS 12 devices on this. If only for the many who still have iPhone 6es. https://t.co/WGG4hrDbD3

Google + Apple representatives gave a bit more clarification today on their contract tracing partnership, including a rough timeline of when to expect API rollout. It'll be released in 2 phases—the first coming in a mid-May software update. w/@kifleswing https://t.co/hs8phEXF1U

Keeping it to only iOS 13 will keep a lot of devices out in the dark. We don’t need that right now. Not good IMO. https://t.co/dbsmPopngy

Do @Apple en @Google realize that such feature in the OS likely needs opt-in consent of the user per EU’s ePrivacy regulations? So how is this organized? Will the DPIA be publicly accessible? So many questions... https://t.co/Weu7hAmIrz #GDPR #privacy

The companies said they will bake the contact tracing feature into iOS and Android in the coming months, so that users won’t even have to install an app. The companies said this would help get more people using the system. So that’s opt-in or consent then. https://t.co/eiNrYVPs1x

People make fun of android updates but that Google plans to push the COVID contact tracing tools to ~84.9% of devices (2.1 billion) as an app update, without a reboot, is impressive https://t.co/uqFWLl7X8o

Contact tracing system by Apple and Google could work on an OS level to alert smartphone users about exposure to COVID-19 cases even if they haven't downloaded the relevant app. But social distancing, testing, and isolation of cases still more important. https://t.co/tsP6thS1Sr
