    I tried using these on my iphone 7 and noticed close to 40% battery drain over 12 hours! Has anybody else that is using this app noticed this drain?

    It's a known issue. What version of iOS are you using?

    Right now I'm using 14.7.1, I turned the app off last night. I won't turn it back on either. I was just wondering about what others are experiencing with it!

    It's a known issue with iOS 14.xx, wasn't an issue with iOS 13 though.

    Here's a workaround:
    1. Disable Exposure Notifications (Settings > Exposure Notifications > Turn Off Exposure Notifications)
    2. Restart (power off, power on) and then
    3. Re-enable Exposure Notifications through the COVID Alert app.
