We recommend checking the Dexcom compatibility chart before installing a new iOS or Android OS version on your smart device. Dexcom tests all its apps on new OS versions after the OS is released. It may take several days or more to complete testing and, if necessary, update the Dexcom app to be fully compatible with a new OS version.
