Apple and Google plan to use decentralized Bluetooth technology in smartphones to help users track whether they have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for the virus. The technology will be rolled out in two phases: an application programming interface (APIs) released in May that public health agencies can integrate into their own mobile apps. The tool doesn t collect personally identifiable information or user location data what s being collected is the proximity to other devices, not the location of devices, said Apple.
