Technical glitch on Alhosn app being reviewed and will be restored as soon as possible
Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi has temporarily suspended the use of green pass on Alhosn app to enter all announced areas in the emirate. This decision follows the app being down across the country for many users on Thursday.
“The green pass will be reinstated after completing the app update and ensuring the continuity of the app service for all users,” the Abu Dhabi Government Media Office announced on Friday.
As a result of the emirate announcing a green pass system, whereby a green label on the Alhosn was mandatory to enter designated areas in Abu Dhabi, there was a surge in the app’s subscriptions of late.
