iOS 13.7 update released with COVID-19 exposure notifications, downgrade to iOS 13.6.1 halts

Apple has released iOS 13.7 software update for its iPhones. Also, after upgrading to iOS 13.7, users cannot rollback to the previous iOS version 13.6.1. Since Apple has stopped signing the previous version, the company seems to be making sure that every iPhone user gets the latest and stable system improvements.

iOS 13.7 update lets users enable the COVID-19 Exposure Notification feature directly from Settings. Once enabled, your iPhone will begin monitoring possible exposures using Bluetooth, so you can stay updated with your surrounding COVID-19 exposure.

iOS 13.7 Changelog:

iOS 13.7 lets you opt into the COVID-19 Exposure Notification System without the need to download an app. System availability depends upon support from your local public health authority. This release also fixes other bug fixes for your iPhone.
