No idea, sorry.Wow, so just get the 3rd party xdrip app.
Why does the libre app not offer it then?
I need to research a bit more.
So you you can get a continouse drip feed of levels. Without a strap on to the libre2?
I was sort of hanging on for libre3.
I use DiaBox. At the moment the iPhone version got shut down by Abbott/Apple, so no use looking into this unless you use Android.I need to research a bit more.

I use Libre 2 with OOP2 and xDrip+ on an Android phone.@In Response I keep getting a message asking me if I want oop2 algorithm to calibrate. Have you had this, and have you said yes or no? Wasn't sure what it would do.
Android here. Is there an up to date link on installing the xdrip hack.
Looks like it needs a new sensor to start up.
Why?What you would need is the latest Abbott Libre app.
Thanks, I'll just carry on ignoring the message then. I calibrate it with finger pricks sometimes, but not been doing it once a day, as it's generally been spot on, or very close to finger prick result at lunch time.I use Libre 2 with OOP2 and xDrip+ on an Android phone.
I use OOP2 to hijack the Bluetooth signal from Libre 2 for xDrip+ and nothing else.
I calibrate at least once a day regardless of OOP2 so never get the message you mention.
For me, the ability to calibrate the Libre readings is important to give me confidence in the sensor.
Why?
I only use LibreLink to start my sensor and then Force Close it.
I keep it in case xDrip+ reports a weird reading so I can confirm whether it is xDrip+ or Libre that is misbehaving.
But there is no reason to have the absolute latest version of LibreLink to do this - just a version which can start the Libre 2 sensor.
There are a number of different approaches to using xDrip with Libre 2 without a separate transmitter. These only work with the European version of Libre 2. It does not work with thebUS or Australian version.
The OOP2 version worked first time for me so i didn’t bother investigating patching any official apps.
There have been reports of problems, especially with Samsung phones. I don’t know if this is because Samsung is the most common smart phone manufacturer so statistically more likely to have issues or whether it is because Samsung Bluetooth is renowned to be unstable. I avoided Samsung when renewing my phone last year.
I have no faff with xDrip+ and, as I mentioned, calibrate it daily for peace of mind.
Check the xDrip Facebook group. They have up to date documents on there and helpful contributors.Android here. Is there an up to date link on installing the xdrip hack.

I just spotted something about OOP asking for calibration. Confusingly, OOP is different to OOP2. If you are getting OOP (not OOP2) calibration requests, you can uninstall the OOP app ... but keep OOP2.Thanks, I'll just carry on ignoring the message then.
