55 million users of $10 Bluetooth-enabled phones come into embrace of closed-source app
India has delivered on its promise to adapt its Aarogya Setu contact-tracing app for feature phones.
A Sunday Tweet confirmed the app’s existence and that it runs on phones from Jio, the nation’s largest mobile carrier.
Jio currently offers two phones, a $10 candy bar model and vintage-Blackberry-like $40 model 2. Both run KaiOS, an effort that derives from the Firefox OS that the browser-maker abandoned back in 2015.
