Apple this week
released iOS 13.7 with support for a new feature called "Exposure Notifications Express," which allows users to enable COVID-19 Exposure Notifications without downloading their public health authority's app in participating regions.
Apple said that Maryland, Nevada, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. will soon be adopting Exposure Notifications Express, and more U.S. states could follow in the future. Keep in mind that the Exposure Notifications system as a whole still functions on an opt-in basis, with a toggle switch located in the Settings app.
Apple this week also seeded the seventh developer betas of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 (
we've rounded up everything new), watchOS 7, and tvOS 14, as well as the sixth beta of macOS Big Sur.
