 |  UK government blames Apple for Coronavirus app stuff up No blame please, we're British UK health secretary Matt Hancock has blamed Apple for the failure of the NHS coronavirus app - and can't say when a new one will be up and running. The contact tracing app which was developed in-house despite experts warning it wouldn't work - only identified four per cent of iPhones. The Health Secretary insisted it worked well on Google Android devices - but blamed Apple for refusing to change its rules to allow their app to work. At the Downing Street press conference, he said testing on the Isle of Wight uncovered a "technical barrier". "We found that our app works well on Android devices, but Apple software prevents iPhones being used effectively for contact tracing unless you are using Apple's own technology," he said. He said that the NHSX app was better at measuring distance than the Google/Apple model. https://fudzilla.com/news/mobile/510...s-app-stuff-up |
