User ID: 79040617 United Kingdom 06/20/2020 02:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Those settings have been there for weeks, if not months. They either appeared via an update in the early months of 2020 (or potentially very late 2019), or when my phone oddly told me that it had to alter the timezone settings (for whatever weird reason they needed to do that).

User ID: 78608075 Russia 06/20/2020 03:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've opted out of downloading a HMS Core update on my Honor phone, it has it listed as "COVID tracking" something something in plain, open text. No thank you Huawei. If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and aeroplanes. |

User ID: 70746832 Hungary 06/20/2020 05:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just checked mine and it is not there but I also have notifications blocked so maybe that has something to do with it? Quoting: T-Bone I don't have it either, nor the memory amount left to install any app. Here Android 2.3.6 from 10+ years ago all the way.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75673325 Grab the app called Package Disabler Pro and switch off bluetooth with it and any other shit, if you search for update in the app u can turn updates off as well, it will still show pending updates, but when you click on it nothing happens. |

It tells you precisely where to go into your phone settings. I checked using these directions from PayDroV. Sure enough my phone is now infected with the COVID-19 Contact Tracing BS.

User ID: 73690651 United States 06/20/2020 01:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let me know when someone writes a script that removes the covid nonsense.. will happen Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79051729 Since the phone os needs a software app to collect and process said data, there is nothing to remove since no apps are available yet afaik. Yeah. The COVID-19 Plandemic Backdoors has been officially installed on our smartphones. The COVID-19 Plandemic Contact Tracing apps are being designed and written to completely take over our physical and online lives. So this does prove me correct about how Google and Apple at least would use the System Update features to force the Contact Tracing apps onto your phone and most likely make them mandatory to use. So far I have not been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the CT apps will literally take over your smartphone to the point you must fill out the required personal information fields and submit to the Illuminati's whims in order to be allowed to use your smartphone again.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77200642 United States 06/20/2020 01:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here you go fart sniffers Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70313191 "Each user gets to decide whether or not to opt-in to exposure notifications; the system does not collect or use location from the device; and if a person is diagnosed with COVID-19, it is up to them whether or not to report that in the public health app," a news release from Google and Apple states. The companies noted that "strong privacy protections are also the best way to encourage use of these apps." but I wasnt told about it..or asked if I want it...Plus I cant get it off...I dont need friends like that.. Yeah....android....I have my mic disabled, and disabled in every app but when I'm talking to others who also have android, I find that whatever subject we're talking about shows up on my "recommended page" on youtube. I assume the other person's mic may be on by default, then android reads MY unique ID. so even if you have this Covid exposure app turned off, google will know who you are via tower triangulation.... |
