Still, many of us are just think about what to do with the Aarogya App. SO here will tell about the settings and how this works on your phone.
1. Setting up the Aarogya Setu app
The primary function of the Aarogya Setu app is to control the spread of the virus as the main mission mentioned by the Govt. of India, while also educating users about it. On downloading the app, you will be asked to do a quick set-up (just like any other app).
Post which, you must answer questions about having a cold, cough, trouble breathing, fever, etc. If the answers are negative, the app will register you in the Green Zone. Available in 11 languages, the app is designed to accommodate heavy user traffic.
2. The functionality of the Aarogya Setu app
The Aarogya Setu app functions on Bluetooth and location-sharing technologies offered by smartphones. Bluetooth is used to send and receive messages while location sharing enables the app to track your movement. When you are in a crowded place, the app’s interface will interact with every user who stands next to you. If they are on the app and have been marked safe, your phone will show you in the Green Zone. Additionally, if a person you’ve interacted with tests positive, the app will intimate you and guide you to get tested. It will encourage you to call the toll-free number, 1075, and schedule an appointment.
3. The benefits
To start off, the above-detailed explanation makes the positive aspects of the app very clear. It does the job of safeguarding you from the virus, quite satisfactorily might we add, at least to the maximum potency of the digital space. The accessibility across multiple languages is a definite boon to India’s diverse audience. It also offers a self-testing chat space, which can calm the minds of hypochondriacs.
4. Drawbacks of the Aarogya Setu app
It stems majorly from privacy concerns raised by many. However, the app only accesses your phone’s BlueTooth and location, which are accessed by many other daily use apps. That being said, the app does store a huge amount of data and a security breach could prove to be costly. Given the insecure nature of other government designed apps in the past, this is an alarming concern.

The Aarogya Setu app is available to both Android and iOS users and can be downloaded from the Play Store and App Store, respectively.
