What’s new?

We are preparing an update to the GPS mobile app. This release technically still falls within the realm of the original "MVP1" feature set, as it includes:

  • Major improvements to location-tracking accuracy on iOS

  • A much improved exposure-notification flow

  • Spanish as a supported language (joining English and Haitian Kreyol), in preparation for Puerto Rico's an upcoming public launch with a new jurisdiction!

  • Now requires SSL for all data transmission

  • Improved network performance and data using via caching

  • New functionality that enables partner jurisdictions to test end-to-end with high transparency in a production environment with high transparency into how well the system is working

  • Many, many bug fixes

What can you do to help

Please download the latest version as soon as it’s available in your store, particularly in a supported jurisdiction, and be you sure to turn on location logging.
