To save battery, I turned off my bluetooth, and I got a notification on
the cellular startup screen with a red sun and the message "Exposure
Notifications inactive. To use this feature, turn on bluetooth."

I had to google to be reminded of what it meant. It refers to exposure
to covid and since a) I have the app that keeps track of whether I'm
near an infected person, and b) I turned off bluetooth, it complains.

I only go out once or twice a week, soI will leave it off and hope the
reminder re-appears when I'm leaving the house.


No, it will not. How can it know you are leaving home?


Any decent smartphone knows that with the gps.


Which doesn't work inside my house.


Doesnt need to, it works as you leave the house.

Google maps history always ask me to
confirm that I'm home, it never knows.


But will when LEAVING the house.
