Coronavirus tracking app
Trying to find out whether the much publicised contact tracker app that is currently being trailed in the Isle of Wight will use much or any data allowance. Also I generally don't have Bluetooth switched on as I thought it made the battery go down faster, but I gather that might not be the case, and I understand the app will require Bluetooth to be permanently on to be any use.
Not worried myself as I have unlimited data but a relative only has 750mb a month, so if the app uses much then they will be incurring charges. Any views or info please.
