Have it and use it. I want to know if I’m at risk or have been a risk to others if I test positive. However, on Saturday we did forget to scan in when we arrived at a pub. First time it’s happened. I suppose they aren’t reminding people anymore, so more responsibility on the individual.
Poll needs a ‘have it but have turned off the continuous tracking’ option

My old Nokia (non smartphone) is still working fine but doesn't have apps. Can't see why I should buy a new phone while my current one is still going strong and does what I want it to do.

That's what I meant by have it but don't really use it. You need Bluetooth on for it to work I think?
Yep, but you can also ‘pause’ the tracking without turning Bluetooth off

As I’m not sure on the relationship between being pinged by the nhs app (resulting in an advisory) and an NHS track and trace (resulting in isolation requirement), I don’t have it.
Deleted it weeks ago, if i am in contact with someone that has had it ill get tested.

So have it but don't really use it is appropriate?
I had it for a while last year then deleted it, after a few weeks of having my phone battery flattened at an alarming rate I realised I didn't actually go anywhere with a QR code to scan.

Yep
Use it and it is switched on all the time and I check in whenever I see the scan sheet
I tend to look at it that although it is to let me know if there has been a case, being double jabbed and taking warfarin, my chances getting it are very little.
If this little bugger can live on me and be transmitted without me knowing it and I could pass it on to clinically vulnerable members of family, then I feel it would be a bit irresponsible to suddenly stop doing things we have lived with for ages…masks indoors being another one of those things.
But I appreciate people are fed up and want to put all this behind us.

Yes I still have it - but turn contact tracing on / off when needed. Way to much disruption between my partner & I the last month or so with being 'pinged' but continuously testing negative (PCR & LFT) so decided to bin it off, regularly test - but will keep it for a bit for venue check ins
Suppose so, but still use it for venue check-in…….

seems you understand the relationship fine. the voluntary app gives advise, the direction to isolate comes from a person.
How will you know?
Either its someone I've been around for 15 minutes or more - work etc - or ill have symptoms.
Ive also been double jabbed

Always use it in pubs which are basically the only places I am stationary in for a long period of time.

But does the person pick up on the advise and on what basis/criteria?
I have the German one, and have it turned on. I have been pinged once and had to Isolate for a short while whilst I awaited my test result.
