[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom app update.

Sun Dec 27 06:39:51 UTC 2020

Dear Friends,

What is a widget? My doctor wants me to begin using a Libra or Dexcom 
yesterday. First I need to buy a phone to read it. I'm worried that the tech 
will be beyond me.

Always with love,

Lissi

Hello Dexcom G6 Users:

I'm running iOS 14.3 and not experiencing problems being described. I also 
have iOS 14.3 running on an iPhone 11. Again, not experiencing any major 
problems.

I have got to say that in a lot of the apps running under iOS 14.3 I have 
noticed that I would get something like PC on a Log or some kind of picture 
that pops up when the app is open and it doesn't only happen with the Dexcom 
app but just about all the different apps I have running on my phone.

This pop up picture doesn't seem to be happening on an iPad 8 whenh apps are 
open and the iPad is running iOS 14.3. If someone knows how to get rid of 
the pop up pictures in apps when apps are opened I'd like to hear how to 
turn this off.

For those who are getting the message Dexcom is in the process of testing 
the app, you should be able to find the Continue to App button and that 
clears and you should be in the app. This testing has been going on ever 
since I started using my Dexcom which is now one year.

As for whether the Dexcom G6 app will work on the iPhone 12 series, I have 
not heard anyone mention anything on this list.

I updated my phone to 14, in everything works fine. I do keep getting the 
darn warning and sometimes have to completely close out of Dexcom in the app 
switcher, come back and get the warning to go away. It is a pain, but it 
gets the job done! Other than that, I have not noticed any other 
differences. I have not tried the widget.
