>>> Hello,



>>> I just inserted a new sensor for the Dexcom G7 using the iPhone
>>> camera. I'm running iOS 16.5 on an iPhone 14 Pro.



>>> I found it pretty snappy once I was able to place the sensor container
>>> in the position where the code can be found on the outside of the
>>> applicator. I aligned the camera about 6 inches from the container and
>>> slowly moved the camera/phone around until I felt a vibration and
>>> heard Voiceover tell me that pairing was complete.



>>> I find that this looks to be better than the G6 app for the iPhone.



>>> Hope others using the G7 will try it and share their experience
>>> capturing the QRCode using their camera whether its with an iPhone or
>> Android device.
