India’s first contact tracing app Aarogya Setu is getting a lot of new features lately. The app has received two new intriguing features which will change the experience of users. Firstly, the users will be able to delete their account along with personal information from the app. Secondly, users will get health data access to third-party apps. The new features have been rolled in both iOS as well as Android platforms. However, the health data access feature will be rolled out in Android soon. Android users will see a Delete My Account option on the app, which will erase all the data whereas, in iOS devices, users will see the option of Delete Account File.
