If you're a user of the TraceTogether app, it is likely that you would have faced some degree of frustration lately at the slow queues at mall entrances.
A new update to the TraceTogether app might just be the balm to soothe your aggrieved soul.
Version 2.11 of the TraceTogether app's SafeEntry check in pass comes with either a green or white background to facilitate quicker SafeEntry check-ins at venues.
What the green pass means
A green background indicates that:
- Your app home screen does not show "Test status: Not cleared", and;
- Your app home screen shows a green vaccination status and/or "Test status: Cleared" status.
Example of a green pass.
The green pass also comes with two new icons:
- A syringe icon to indicate if you have met the vaccination requirements
- A memo icon to indicate your test status
There is also a new animated otter for venue staff to verify if they're viewing a screenshot.
What the white pass means
First off, having a white background does not necessarily mean that you are unvaccinated.
You will see a white pass by default if you did a group check-in. According to GovTech, this is due to privacy and security reasons.
Example of a group-check in white pass.
If you are checking in alone and your SafeEntry pass is white, then it means either one of two things:
- Your app home screen shows "Test status: Not cleared", or
- You’re not vaccinated and don’t have a cleared test status.
Example of a single-person check in white pass.
At places without Vaccination/Test status checks, users can enter regardless of their green or white pass.
The green and white passes only apply to check-in passes. There is no differentiation in check-out passes.
The TraceTogether app can be updated on the Google Play Store and the App Store.
