i dont want the covid tracking ******** on my phone how do i get rid of it

Lastly ... iOS allows the user to disable "COVID-19 Exposure Logging" from within Settings ... Privacy ... Health.

This feature can't even turned "on" w/o an exposure logging app being first installed.

What Apple provides in the iOS is just the API to allow Covid exposure notification apps to function.

It does not "track" or "notify" by itself.

It's built-in to the iOS and can't be deleted.

Simply don't install any covid notification apps if you're concerned.

More info about the Exposure Notification API is available here:
