People can now keep their EU Digital COVID Certificate on the COVID Tracker App.
Hundreds of thousands of people are now receiving their cert, ahead of the easing of rules around foreign travel on July 19th.
A new feature's been released on the Tracker App that allows people to carry their cert securely on their phone.
You can access this by downloading an update and following the instructions in the app to scan the QR code on your certificate.
The HSE says the cert is only stored on your phone, and is not shared with anyone.
Users can also delete it at any time.
