Скачать или смотреть Do Contact Tracing Apps Track You

A viral chain message spreading across Facebook urges friends to “please delete me and my family from your phone contact list and Facebook BEFORE installing this app on your smartphone.” It's in regards to a pair of apps aimed at contact tracing amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The message claims that if you install the “Healthy Together” or “ABTrace Together” app, “your contacts will be known as well as your contacts’ contacts. This will all be done without prior consent or knowledge, so please count me out!”

The main concern in these messages is that the apps will automatically read the user’s contacts and track them. 

But that’s a misrepresentation of what the apps do.
