Are u saying tracetogether app has invasive spyware too?
I am saying that people are still using something that has been proven to have been exploited to install invasive spyware while you are worrying about something that is comparatively a lot safer.

But just as exploits and spyware in whatsapp were not discovered from day one, is it possible one day the same can be discovered about the tracetogether app or even the token? Sorry not very savvy about this.

You don’t even look at the permissions you are granting away and you worry about potential exploits in the future.

TraceTogether accesses camera, Bluetooth and data.

WhatsApp accesses location, contacts, photos, microphone, camera and data.

So for example, an app that has permission to microphone and data can be perpetually listening and sending every conversation that you have.

Ish a good idea but poor execution

Very true. Last night I would like to enter a busy mall using the token. And so I join a queue to scan my token...

And there is another queue where tens of shoppers simply flash their phone and walk past the post..

Just scan the token right why would there a queue? Oops the safe entry staff was trying hard to scan a work permit barcode, and finally tell the shopper to write his details. And I lan lan got to wait till the staff finished recorded his details..


That's the time I feel so stupid. Trying to be social responsible, and hey not rewarded.
