Tous Anti Covid is available on iOS and Android, here are the changes

Emmanuel Macron had announced, he would give way to Stop Covid A new version called TousAntiCovid. Now available on iOS and Android. Those with the old app will get an update, others will need to download it. It goes without saying that it’s free.

After the bitter failure of Stop Covid, the government had to go through its copy to convince. However, the changes actually minimal. The application works in the same way as the previous version, namely on Bluetooth. Therefore, to receive an alert, you must stay near a smartphone whose owner has declared positive for Covid through the app for more than 15 minutes. Here again, the tools for effectively monitoring patients seem limited.

The operation of TousAntiCovid does not change much compared to that of StopCovid

This time TousAntiCovid will send a notification to your phone that it’s working. This is possible enable and disable instant tracking. For example, Tous Anti Covid does not need to be turned on when you are at home. Reactivate with a simple click before boarding public transport or going anywhere.

For the rest, the development of the app remains very clever. The QR Code, a specified time to indicate your presence in a public place (such as a restaurant), is not part of it. However, pay attention to the appearance of a window. dedicated to virus-related figures, such as the new cases announced, the incidence rate, or the number of people reported by the application (845 when we write these lines). There is also a tab that provides access to the digital certificate for the curfew, as is the possibility of finding a scanning center. There is also a stream of the latest official news about the outbreak.

In fact, the improvements are more cosmetic than technical at the moment and we remain skeptical of this development. However, Tous Anti Covid can show its effectiveness provided that it is downloaded by maximum French. And you, have you downloaded Tous Anti Covid? What do you think of this new iteration?
