To find out how to acknowledge alerts from the Lock screen, go to the Alerts chapter.
Siri (Apple)
Use your iPhone and G7 app settings to set up a Siri shortcut. Then you can ask Siri to
tell you your sensor reading and trend arrow! When Siri answers, your trend graph will
also display on your screen.
To get started, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure Siri is on in your phone settings
2.
In your G7 app Profile tab, tap Siri Shortcuts to add, edit, or remove a shortcut
If your phone uses iOS 16 or later, when you install the G7 app, Siri Shortcuts will
be set up automatically.
Smartwatch (Apple)
Check your G7 on your Apple smartwatch.
Suggested use
Using a smartwatch with your G7 may change how you get alerts.
l
Your smartwatch communicates with your phone, not the sensor.
l
You won't get alerts or sensor readings on your watch unless it's connected to
your phone and your phone is connected to your sensor.
Make sure you understand how you get notifications when a watch is connected.
l
You must wear the watch to see alerts and feel their vibrations.
l
In your smart device settings, make sure notifications are sent to both your phone
and watch.
l
Don't disable or block notifications from the app.
Waking up your watch updates your G7 data from your phone. There may be a brief
delay before your Watch app shows current information.
