Smartphone app that provides 300 government services
The government is about to launch an official smartphone app that will offer around 300 governmental services to the UK public.
The online services will cover numerous fields, including changing driving licence and getting benefits, reports the Telegraph. The Gov.uk app will replace a failed £175 million scheme of fixing the process of logging into the government’s website.
Expected to launch in late 2022, the app may also offer a notification service that can alert users to new policies affecting them, or to the expiry of a driver licence and the like.
