Google COVID-19 App Quietly Installed On (All?) Android Phones
It seems like it's on every Android Cellphone. An option for Covid-19 notifications. It's probably only have built and needs to connect to an application to work. There are a lot of people who are upset with this because they feel it is a way for the man to watch you.
It reads:
Your phone needs to use Bluetooth to securely collect and share random IDs with other phones that are nearby. Random IDs are automatically deleted after 14 days.
Device location needs to be on to detect bluetooth device near you, however, COVID-19 exposure notifications don't use device location.
The date, duration, and signal strength associated with an exposure will be shared with the app
If you test positive for COVID-19, you can choose to share your phone's random IDs with the authorized app so it can notify others anonymously
