By November 28, 2020, all airport passengers must download and register here for contract tracing. This has made by the Philippine Ports Authority and Cosmotech Philippines Inc. It is currently used in 4 airports in the Philippines, and hopefully, on other transportation and establishments.

Traze App is available in these App Stores

  • Samsung Galaxy Store 
  • Android Phone Users not on the list

STEP 3: Fill up the information asked as well as take your photo. Make sure the app can access your camera.

STEP 4: Submit it.

STEP 5: Enter the verification code.

STEP 6: It will say that your registration is complete.

STEP 7: Enter your username and password to activate your account.

Activating your Traze App

STEP 1: Log-in. Click “Traze Me.”

STEP 2: Enter the verification code. Make sure you have the internet.

STEP 3: Your activation will be complete.

Using the Traze App – Your QR Code

STEP 1: You will have your Traze ID available. To get your QR Code, click “Traze Me.”

STEP 2: Go to Preview.

STEP 3: Screenshot it. You can save it to your gallery and present it to the people asking for your Traze ID. You can also print this, for those who don’t have a mobile phone or think it hassle to do so.

As per Traze’s Facebook page:

  • The validity of “Traze Me” QR Code is only for 10 minutes as the code refreshes every time
  • Printed QR codes for family members will be valid for 3 days
  • From Malasakit or Traze Helpdesks, it will be valid for 999 days

That’s it about the Traze App. It’s super useful because you won’t be writing on the contact forms anymore. The application is also good online or offline; plus, you can add your family members or neighbors who don’t have phones.

  3. Hello, anyone tried or was able to download the traze app in iphone 6? (ios 12.5.5 only)
