Disappearing Covid-19 app alerts cause alarm – BBC News
Users of the England and Wales contact-tracing apps are reporting getting alerts which then vanish.
By Rory Cellan-JonesTechnology correspondent
All week there has been concern from users of the NHS Covid-19 app about disturbing alerts that quickly vanish.
Now the Department of Health says it is working on a fix – but warned it could take some time.
The issue affects the England and Wales app, but not Scotland’s or Northern Ireland’s.
The alerts are generated by the underlying Apple and Google framework rather than the app itself, but they are causing alarm and confusion.
