Despite a relatively low overall uptake, more than a dozen states nationwide have rolled out coronavirus tracking apps to help bolster contact tracing efforts. The apps use Apple and Google’ “Exposure Notifications” proximity-tracking Bluetooth technology on iOS and Android devices.

The apps can be found on Google Play and the App Store. Exposure notifications can also be toggled in Apple devices' settings, where applicable.

Data from 16 states, Guam and the District of Columbia shows that 8.1 million people had utilized the technology as of late November. That’s about one in 14 of the 110 million residents in those regions, according to the Associated Press

The apps have met resistance in the U.S. over privacy concerns in terms of location data. According to Google, however, Google and Apple have built-in safeguards to ensure that government contact tracing apps built with Exposure Notifications System cannot learn where people are.
