Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

The Dexcom Follow app is part of the Dexcom SHARE® system. Use this app if your loved one is sharing data from their Dexcom CGM app. The Sharer will need to send an invitation to allow you to connect after you have installed the Follow app. Dexcom Follow is the perfect companion to your loved one’s Dexcom CGM, connecting you to those nearest and dearest to you, even when they’re far away. Through secure wireless connections, Dexcom Follow allows you to view and follow the glucose levels, trends and data of your loved ones. Whether you have a child who is in college, an elderly parent who lives in another state, or a spouse who is going on a business trip, Dexcom Follow is there to keep you connected and informed. With Dexcom Follow, you can: • Monitor your loved one’s glucose activity at school or across the country. • Receive glucose information from up to 10 different Sharers – children, friends, or other loved ones. • Respond quickly with the help of customizable glucose alerts and push notifications that can inform you when a Sharer’s glucose levels are outside the norm.

Is there a version of Dexcom Follow for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 9 or later. Version 4.0.1.0 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 6.0 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 4.0.1.0 · All versions

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
