xdrip± Settings

These docs are based on the latest Nightly Build Which you can download from there. (allow a few days for update to take effect).
If you're already using xDrip+ and don't find a feature documented here and want it, you might need to update your xDrip+ app.

See at the bottom of each page the version at which it was written, if you have an older version it might not include the feature.

If you're completely new to xDrip+ and you want to install it for the first time continue to Download xdrip Or Install xdrip

Specifications⌁

You need an Android phone.

  • Minimum supported Android version is 4.4 but 6 and above is recommended.
  • If you will connect xDrip+ to a sensor your phone must support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE): you can use utilities like this one to check.
  • If you want to use the embedded master - follower function of xDrip+ (called xDrip+ Sync) both phones must have the Google Play Services installed.
  • In order to use NFC scanning features for Libre 1 and 2 (EU only) sensors, or to connect directly to a Libre 2 (EU) sensor your phone needs a compatible NFC reader.
  • If using Android 10 and above make sure you use a recent version of xDrip+ (at least the latest release, we'll talk about it later: continue reading).
