How to tell if your phone has Covid 19 installed AND HOW to remove it:
Step 1. Go to Settings
Step 2. Click on GOOGLE
If you see COVID 19 at the top of the list you have it on your phone. How to remove it?
Step 1. Click on PLAY STORE and then SETTINGS and change to DO NOT AUTOUPDATE APPS. Then go to your main screen and go to step 2.
Step 2. Go to Settings then go to SECURITY AND LOCATION under Settings and shut off "FIND MY DEVICE".
Step 3. This is the most important part. Make sure your phone is backed up. Go to settings again and then go to APPS AND NOTIFICATIONS (SOME PHONES WILL SAY APPLICATIONS)
Step 4. Then click where it says SEE ALL APPS
Step 5. Look for GooglePLAYservices and click that Then on the top right click the 3 vertical dots and click Uninstall updates (If you don't see the 3 vertical lines some phones require you to click ADVANCED OPTIONS there and then the vertical lines show up).
This takes about 20 seconds so wait about 20 seconds. Now go back to step 1 and see if it's gone. Congratulations you just got rid of it!
Let me know in comments section if you had covid 19 on your phone also and if it removed it. God bless!
I would suggest NOT updating Google until the Scamdemic passes. You can update your other apps but I recommend don't update Google.
It is my personal opinion that the Scamdemic is being used to usher in the evil of socialism and the New World Order so I say this covid 19 app can go to hell where it belongs. This should be a choice.
Easier to stay home.
The place where I used to work 25 years ago was exactly like that!......................
“Yeah, then you’d have to do the other thing.”
What other thing?
“but mine says to turn on location.”
I have no idea what you are referring to!
How do you get to Settings?
Asking for a Boomer friend.
Or just make/get a Faraday bag for your phone. :-)
I’m sure the app has configuration over and above bluetooth availability. I’m skipping it all. I don’t go anywhere anyway. Working from home. the only person I get within 6 feet of is my wife.
Apparently it uses location service for the Bluetooth tracking. Your location is. not monitored.
Yep. You even have to download another app.
Mine wound up being a little different. I couldn’t find the locate my phone app but when I got to the final step “uninstall updates” it complained that Google Play Services was an administrator, Then it displayed a “manage administrators” and when pressed it showed the locate my phone app turned on. That worked! It’s gone.

Ask a Hasidic Jewish person. When I flew to Israel I noticed they all had basic phones because of their beliefs. I often wondered where they buy them.
I take care of COVID patients in ICU and I have not been notified. They track you for their benefit only and you can’t stop them.
Worked. Thanks

Didn’t you mean to say that “It is not working until someone activates it.”?
Want to be that the app can be remotely activated?

It measures the bluetooth signal strength. I’ve done a bit of radar analysis and signal strength is notoriously inaccurate way to measure distance even in the open. Now try it within a walmart with aisles and obstructions. Almost totally useless.
How do I Phreak it into making it look like I am a plague carrier of COVID19?
I hate dealing with other people.
I have both location and bluetooth off.
