My Android phone just updated the t:connect app. Does anyone know where to find out what the update contains?
If you go to the google play store and look up the tconnect app, it will tell you when it was last updated and what is new.
I am jumping in here as I wonder if the t:connect has been going on for a while.
I got an email (widely sent I’m sure) offering a chance to join a limited launch of a "a new feature that allows you to bolus from your smartphone* using the t:connect mobile app.
I was accepted but don’t know why I applied as I did not even want to use my phone!! And wondering now that I see this message. It sounded like a new launch but clearly t:connect has been available for awhile.
I am supposed to get an app I guess for my iPhone for some unknown time/date when I will be contacted again. I did give my age too! Ha ha!

I wanted to be included in that however still no word for me.
I mean I think it’s just as easy to bolus from the pump at this point still I want the option

Yes, MM1, I got all those warnings too. I have an iPhone 13 pro. And have been on a pump since about 2000. Would have to look up the date. The email was mysterious about when I would hear from them again, in my ‘acceptance’ email, that is. If I can bolus with fewer than about 8 or so button pushes for extended, I’m sold. If not… we’ll see.
