They snuck the Covid tracker into the iOS last summer I think...? I turned off my automatic updates as soon as I got wind of it. I think if your iOS is still 13-something you’re ok. I hope.
If your bluetooth is turned on it will ping other peoples phones when you are out in public. Someone "tests positive" for covid they will know who that person came in contact with because of the bluetooth pings, they can contact you and tell you to quarantine.

I did as well. Will jailbreak before I update - or get a Linux phone.
I hope Purism comes through with theirs.
Lol still have my Maemo Nokia as a burner standing by
I did the same. I'm still running 13.4.1. When I heard about the Covid tracking I stopped auto updates immediately.
