Popular mobile devices and operating systems (OS) are regularly tested to evaluate NFC scan performance, Bluetooth connectivity, and app compatibility with sensors. We recommend checking this guide before installing a new OS version on your phone or before using the app with a new phone.
This list will be updated as other devices and operating systems are evaluated. For devices and OS other than those listed, Abbott's diabetes care division has not evaluated compatibility. Jailbroken devices and beta OS versions are not evaluated or supported.
