Libre 2 sensor compatibility with samsung A16

[NicF]

Hi, I have a libre 2 sensor and it works OK with my Samsung A12 but I need to update the phone.
Looking at a Samsung A16 but the lady in Tesco wasn't sure if the libre 2 would work OK with it (it doesn't work on the A15 either apparently).
I've phoned the libre 2 helpline and all they said was that the A16 was untested !

Does anyone have any experience/ advice ?
Thanks
Nic

I believe the A16 is Android 14 and bluetooth 5.3. Should be fine with Libre 2 since I have not heard anyone complaining about Android 14. I know there have been issues with Android 15 and Dexcom - not sure about Libre.

I'm running Libre and Android 15 with no issues...

Thanks DJ, I got the A16 5g today. App seems to be working OK but I have lost all the historical data ( since beginning of Dec) so a fresh start.

Did you create a LibreView account when you set up the LibreLink app on your old phone?
If so, all your old data will still be on LibreView if you want to access it.
