How do I get the NHS Test and Trace app?
After you’ve downloaded the app, you’ll be asked to enter your code. The app will need this code to work. The dash in the middle of the code will appear automatically, so don’t worry if you cannot find it on your keyboard.
The app is designed for use on smartphones only, not tablets. This is because for contact tracing to be effective, it needs to be on a device that you carry with you most of the time.
If you have an Apple phone, you can download the app from the Apple App Store. If you have an Android phone, you can download it from Google Play.
For more help on downloading the app, see this user guide.
