How does the NHS COVID-19 app know when I’ve left a venue?
The app registers what time you enter a venue but does not register what time you leave.
If people with coronavirus (COVID-19) were at the venue at a similar time as you, a human contact tracer from the Contact Tracing and Advisory Service (CTAS), or the Joint Biosecurity Centre (JBC), will look into the case. They'll evaluate the risk level based on the type of venue and the details of the case. This will help them decide who may be at risk.
You do not need to check out of a venue. Your phone will register when you check into somewhere new, and it will automatically check you out of your last venue at midnight.

Venue check-in
When you use venue check-in for the first time, it will ask you for permission to use the camera on your device in order to ‘check in’ to venues, which display the official NHS QR codes. If you check into a venue, information about the venue you’ve been to will be stored on your phone as a record, which you can review at any time over a rolling 21-day period.
This will include details of the venue and the time of your visit. However, these details are only stored on your phone.
If a venue you check into is subsequently identified as high risk, your app will alert you. You will also be able to use your venue check-in to remind you where you have been, if you are talking to a contact tracer after testing positive.
Unless you choose to disclose this information to a contact tracer, this information is private to you and will not be shared with anyone else. You have the option to delete this information at any time by removing either the whole record, or record of individual venues from the list held on your phone.
