Apple and Google team up to ‘contact trace’ the Coronavirus
In this blog, I am going to discuss about Apple and Google team up to ‘contact trace’ the Coronavirus.Apple and Google, the makers of the two most pervasive smartphone operating systems on the planet, announced this afternoon that they are collaborating on contact-tracing tools to track the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Apple is the developer of iOS. Google is the company behind Android. The two operating systems power the vast majority of smartphones in use. They said they would embed a feature in iPhones and Android devices to enable users to track infected people they’d come close to.
