I'm so giddy that iOS 12 is still getting updates. I know a lot of people still on an iPhone 6 including my mother and keeping them secure is important!
A LOT of iPhone 6 units got fresh batteries during that battery saga a couple years ago and are thus still running strong. Maybe that's why Apple is still supporting them so well.

Probably warning us because a previous update bricked quite a few HomePods so many have shut off auto update.
I just want them to add a 'not junk' button. My Citizens iPhone loan goes to SPAM every month even when I mark it as not spam on my MBP.
Glad the exposure notification thing is opt-in.
If anyone wants to know more about how the BLE Contact Tracing works on the iPhone, read up on how the Find My app works.
tl;dr
No ones actually seeing where you are.
It’s encrypted phone to phone via BLE.
You can install the app that uses this, or not.

Apple's New 'Find My' App for macOS and iOS Can Find Your Devices Even When They're Offline
Apple's "Find My Friends" app is being revamped in macOS Catalina and iOS 13, and will now be called simply "Find My." The new...

Based on how many people I see who want no part of the exposure notification, I'm having my doubts as to what its effectiveness will be.
Or the GA release? I kept clicking Software Update in System Prefs expecting it to also have an update. Took about 15 minutes of waiting, rebooting, and trying again to realize there just isn't one.
MacOS updates usually release later in the afternoon or the next day following the iOS release.
Patience, young padawan.
EDIT: Looks like MacOS 10.15.5 isn't fully baked yet; we got another beta.
And this is the problem: not that the software API exists (and is making it's way to millions of devices), it's that the current administration is so good at sowing doubt into everything, that no one will trust it's use and effectiveness because their tinfoil hats tell them not to. For real, this is just an option in iOS (and Android) that allows ONLY OFFICIAL State or Government apps to utilize. I guarantee you all that whatever apps DO utilize this API will have more scrutiny and testing placed on them than almost any other iOS update before it. What you all should look out for are the apps that DON'T utilize this API, and I'm sure those apps will get lots of exposure on tech sites like this. Those are the apps your government officials want in place- the ones that track your every move and report this to whomever. This API is in place so that stuff doesn't happen. But, you can't fix stupid.
Hopefully will fix the issues some are having with the magic keyboard battery life as well. Not had that issue recently though
I
don't think there's an official app that supports this just yet. Or at least any updates to those apps still need to pass thru review I'd assume.
You need to turn off Automatic Updates. May still download. You can go into iPhone/iPad Storage in General Settings and delete the download. Will say iOS xxxx update.

this update is the stuff of nightmares for people with anxiety.
Don’t worry series 6 has you covered for that....
Or for people like me who work in a building that has over 1000 people distributed across a massive main level, a 9 story tower, and other towers of varying numbers of levels. The people on my floor are totally cut off from the rest of the hospital. We even have our own dedicated entrance and exit. Depending on how the API classifies "close contact" really the only way a notification will be of any use to us...is if it was triggered because of someone on our floor. We are so cut off that someone from a different floor is basically zero risk to us. I can connect to bluetooth up to two floors above and below me. If, by that logic, two floors in either direction qualifies as "close contact"...we're going to have an issue!
Your mail provider decides what is spam or not. The app can only move that one message; it is up to your provider's spam filter to lean that behavior.
You have to go to your provider's site and whitelist that email address. That's not a Mail app fault.
That’s funny cause the first thing I did when I bought my series 5 watch was turn off heart notifications.
