The latest update for the Dexcom app has just been released.
I have been waiting for this for a while for the Apple Watch compatibility update.
One thing I notice however is that the release includes: "When your smart device is set to Silent, Do Not Disturb, or low volume, you can still hear important Dexcom app alerts and alarms. This will allow you to silence calls or texts but still receive audible CGM alerts".
This sounds identical to that mute override feature that was so unpopular with the US version of the app. (https://www.dexcom.com/faq/what-features-are-included-latest-update-dexcom-g5-mobile-app)
If this is something that you cannot turn off or mitigate somehow, I will have to consider whether or not to download this update. I work in an office and have frequent meetings with clients. I cannot have my alerts going off just because Dexcom has decided that everyone needs to hear about it.
Let me know anyone if you download this and what your experience is please.
