Will my Dexcom G7 app work if the app is closed?
You should never close or quit the Dexcom G7 app.
To get your glucose readings and alerts—or to share with your followers†,‡—the app must run in the background.
Open the app by tapping its icon. Safely leave the app by using the Home button; on newer iPhones without a Home button, swipe up to navigate to the Home screen. This will allow the app to run in the background.
