Unless you live under a rock, you probably have heard by now that Apple and Google has teamed up to enable COVID 19 "contact tracing" in their respective mobile operating systems. 

What is COVID 19 "contact tracing" or Exposure Notifications as far as your phone is concerned?
Here is a great article detailing more information and examples on how Exposure Notifications work.

How do I see if Exposure Notifications are enabled on my iPhone?
Exposure Notifications are set to off by default in IOS 13.5. If you have IOS 13.5 and would like to check to see if its on or off, follow the below steps.
  1. On iOS 13.5 and later, get into the phone's settings screen
  2. Swipe down until you see privacy and tap on it
  3. Tap on Health
  4. Tap COVID-19 Exposure Logging at the top
  5. For now, you’ll need an authorized app before Exposure Notifications can be turned on. But then you can tap the toggle to turn notifications on or off
  6. You can also delete the exposure logs manually at any time at the bottom of the settings
