Apple has begun seeding betas of its various operating systems, including iOS and iPadOS 13.5 developer betas that includes initial support for COVID-19 contact tracing.
The updates are expected to be released in mid-May.
Recently, Apple and Google have adopted the term “exposure notifications” which sounds less intimidating than contact tracing. This beta is primarily meant for public health authorities for official government contact tracing apps.
Other changes to be found in iOS 13.5 include patches for security vulnerabilities in Apple Mail, an option to share Apple Music songs to Instagram Stories, a fix for a VPN vulnerability, and an issue some people were having with Personal Hotspot.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
