Saudi Arabia updates Tawakkalna app to prevent health status fraud

Tawakkalna app announced that a moving frame around the status barcode will now be seen on the app rather than a static image in order to prevent health fraud.

The feature was added after attempts of taking a pre-screenshot of the vaccination status and presenting it to security guards at markets and stores gates have been discovered.

The new feature will show a frame in motion around the barcode indicating that the immune status is being viewed in the Tawakkalna app.

Saudi authorities have continued their monitoring campaigns to ensure compliance with the precautionary measures imposed to stem the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
