This comment piece was revised after publication to include details of Android's foreground services. Google recommends developers limit their use of these services to preserve battery life and resources. The section on iOS was also revised in light of testing of the NHS iPhone app, now available as a beta, that revealed the software runs in a background mode that permits it to advertise to other iOS devices, and wake briefly when it receives data, albeit within limits. We are happy to clarify these points.

What else did they get wrong?
