As I have had close to  12 sensor  changes, since I saw the  feature be on Android device. I really liked having that ability to read the graphs with an auto scrub with talkback.  I think I saw it around january of this year on my android device with talkback .     Just want to  see it back and working again. For the time being, I am just sharing the graph  points and trends on the graph to be my eyes to figure out what is going on with my trends  with dexcom .

The June 17 update on the iOS side is the one that introduces some access to the graph. I couldn’t get that update to show up on my phone until today. But I’m enjoying the beginning of having a bit more information. I haven’t looked at the number, but the numbers never match between android and iOS. But it works.

The version on the  google playstore  side, is version 2.9.1  from July 10,2025.        I had version 2.9.0 , on the android side , till I got the version 2.9.1 , which broke on the android side with  auto scrubbing to  read the graph points and trens . both apps on both side prior to the update,  you could do the auto scrub an read  with either side  screen reader, on either voice over on I OS side or talkback on the android side .  the android version is broken with the update, so I will then go back and se who I can contact to fix the matter before its pushed  to the I OS side.

The new version which was pushed out today , does  not have that feature any more . in which you now have to share the dexcom app to be my eyes in order  to  understand the graph points and trends on the graph  .      Don’t know who fumbled this one  on the new  update .
