Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Tracing apps are not being installed on peoples' phones without their permission.

Android and Apple phones have had their systems updated so that, if a user downloads an official app from a public health authority, this can share info to help alert you and other users of exposure to Covid-19.

You can find out more about these software updates here:
