Little is said about the incompatibility of Android 16 and the freestyle application.What am I referring to?
Since late 2025 with the Android 16 update, updated phones started having continuous reading issues.The mobile connects and disconnects only from the sensor.Sometimes the disconnections last several minutes and other times several hours (which poses a danger when going to sleep).
According to Abbot, only the Google Pixel are compatible with Android 16 and the sensor.The rest nothing.
Overall, I spent €800 on a Samsung S25+ (which is now an ornament) to have to buy a €160 Motorola because it has Android 14 and works perfectly.
Has this situation happened to you?
Abbot has had this problem for more than five months and they have not solved anything.Of course, it doesn't take long to update the prices of their sensors on the Web.

My experience is just the opposite, I have a Samsung A55 with Android 16 that is almost two years old now and I have not had any connection problems with the Libre 2. What's more, I bought it to replace a Xiaomi that had a bad habit of disconnecting from the sensor.I also have it connected to a Watch 7 and through GlucoDataHandler I always have the glucose reading on the watch without disconnections and updated to the minute.
An S25 should not guarantee you a stable connection, and the problem you are experiencing could perhaps be due to a problem with access permissions or the battery protection program, which are very cumbersome to configure.I suppose you have even tried resetting all the software by reinstalling Android.Anyway, I want you to solve it because a stable connection is a plus of peace of mind that should not be given up.
All the best!

Hi there.Well, the truth is that I don't know what to think anymore.Because it worked well for me until I updated to Android 16. And of course I looked at the compatibility in Abbot's compatibility PDF and it says in a note that Android 16 only works for Google pixels.
And speaking on the phone they told me that they are trying to resolve it, but it has been like this for months.Anyway, I'll have to end up selling the S25+.
All the best
