How many people downloaded the abc app

It has also been suggested the iPhone app may have some problems if too many other Bluetooth apps are running on your phone. This is because Apple's iOS rules typically prevent third-party apps from running in the background and broadcasting Bluetooth signals. Mr Keys confirmed the app could have some issues if you're running other apps that also use Bluetooth and location tracking.

Some iPhone users have received messages from the app to keep the Bluetooth switch on and to have the app open in power saver mode while in meetings, public spaces, or on public transport. If you are an expat with an international number or if the location settings on your device are set to somewhere other than Australia, you may experience some difficulties getting the app.

Mr Hunt said the government is mainly focused on people in Australia getting the app, so if you're overseas it is not vital that you use it. A number of Android and iPhone users have reported their mobile number isn't being accepted and they receive an error message that the number is invalid. In reviews on the app stores, users say after several attempts it seems the app will eventually accept the number or that the problem occurred just after the app launched and has now been fixed.

All apps on a smartphone device cut into your battery life, but those that use Bluetooth can cause it to drain a little faster than normal. Apple and Android users are advised to switch their phones to low power mode or to turn off background app activity to save battery life, however this could stop the COVIDSafe app from running efficiently.

Instead, users can optimise their settings by turning their screen brightness down or connecting to WiFi where possible. A lot — far more that the federal government expected so soon after its release at pm AEST on Sunday.

The senior lecturer at the University of Queensland says many new or awaited technologies undergo what's called the Gartner Hype Cycle — inflated expectations which generate a strong initial uptake, followed by a "trough of disillusionment" leading to a flattening of numbers.

Back when the app was launched, the Government did — briefly — propose a target download goal of 40 per cent. But that figure hasn't been mentioned for a long time. Now, the Government is saying their general target is every Australian with a smartphone, but there is "no magic number". I think the value is incremental. A week later, on May 8, the Government released a roadmap out of coronavirus restrictions , allowing 10 people in pubs and other seated dining venues.

States and territories have significantly widened these allowances now , with 20 patrons allowed in many venues. Dr Akhlaghpour says it's not so much about how the app's working now, but how it might work in a worst-case scenario. Deputy Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly says the app is an important tool as the country comes to life again.
