[Diabetes-Talk] Reading serial number for DeXcom transmitter

[Greg Wocher]

Hello,
THe feature was introduced in iOS 15. I believe it is only on the iPhone 12 and later. To use it you just need to take a picture with the camera app. Once you view the picture in your photos, the phone should tell you text was detected and let you read it with voiceover.

That is the only thing I can think of because a lot of the new accessibility features will be coming to Iowa 16 for eligible iPhone devices. That could be what he is experiencing for that feature probably being a beta tester. For ios.
