Future of TAN hotline?

[MikeMcC399]

The Android app 3.0.x version in development has added "Self Report Submission" (SRS) and removed the TAN submission cards from visibility (see PR https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-app-android/pull/5677).

If "Self Report Submission" (SRS) will allow warning without being in possession of a TAN, then there will be no need for a TAN hotline for users of a future CWA 3.x app.

Does this mean that the TAN hotline will be shut down or will it continue its operation for users who are still on a 1.x or 2.x version, including those on the community CCTG version?

The question seems to be answered in https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-app-android/blob/731c87bdde72e548096231580eebe14731aeafce/Corona-Warn-App/src/main/res/values/release_info_strings.xml#L30

if / when CWA 3.0 is released:

"The option of getting a TAN from the TAN hotline will be discontinued within the next few weeks. Therefore, you no longer need a TAN to warn other users of the Corona-Warn-App."

@MikeMcC399 The remaining question is: When will the hotline be shut off?

The remaining question is: When will the hotline be shut off?

The text would become active if / when CWA 3.0 is released so all timelines would be relative to that date, which has not been announced here so far.

CWA 3.0 has been announced via Twitter with release date Wednesday, Jan 18, 2023. (Thanks to @Ein-Tim for the information!)

There has not been any official statement about shutting down the hotline as yet, however this seems to be the mostly likely outcome.

It seems that there will be no feedback here before the actual release of CWA 3.0 so I'm closing this issue.
