The operator also provides notifications for users to immediately update the software to the latest version 4.5.4.

The PeduliLindungi application is developed by the government to help curb the spread of COVID-19 transmission. The application is available for devices with Android and iOS operating systems and a website version as well.

The application has several functions including providing warnings to users if they are in areas with many positive cases of COVID-19, monitoring the movement of people exposed to COVID-19, and downloading vaccine certificates.

In addition, the application provides information on COVID-19 test results and functions as a tool to access public transportation services and other public places.

In future, PeduliLindungi will transform into a citizen health app that is integrated with medical record data and other health applications.
