Hey All,

Just received a new transmitter and after updating my phone for a while when I reconnected all my missing readings appeared on my app. Its not a one off, been away from my phone for a while today and every reading is there.

I have heard about this (G5 + transmitter?) but nothing aside from the US. So maybe it has made the leap to Europe.

Hopefully new orders will have the backfill version.

I'm confused; the app only shows 24 hours of data for me so what exactly is there to "backfill"?

The recent app update that allows you to see data on the Apple watch also included the ability to backfill data from the Transmitter. All transmitters since November have stored 8 hours worth of data which it can upload to the app if there are comms issues between the transmitter and the phone and gaps.
