This page explains how to set up xDrip Sync. You will need both the master and follower phones. All phones need to be updated to at least the latest stable release of xDrip.
On the master phone, go to Settings −> xDrip Sync Settings, and tap on Be Master for Followers.
Tap on Settings −> Show Settings QR codes.
Tap on xDrip plus security key settings only.
The QR code will now display on the master phone.
On the follower phone, tap on Settings −> Hardware Data Source and choose xDrip Sync Follower.
Then, tap on Settings −> Auto configure.
Scan the QR code shown on the master screen.
Approve the import.
All of this is shown in a clip here.
Enable Settings −> xDrip+ Sync Settings −> Use xDrip Cloud on all phones in the group.
In some cases, the scan may not work. You can manually set up the follower:
Under Settings −> Hardware Data Source, select xDrip+ Sync Follower.
Then, go to Settings −> xDrip+ Sync Settings and tap on Handset Group Security Sync Key. Make sure the key matches the key on the same page on the master.
By default, the follower can upload treatments to the master, calibrate it, and even stop sensor on it. To remove this possibility, disable Allow Follower Actions.
This feature is allowed so that a parent can have control over a child’s master if the child is too young to perform functions like calibration. If you are the one calibrating or stopping sensors and don’t want the follower to accidentally interfere, you need to disable this setting.
On both the master and follower, ensure that Settings −> xDrip+ Sync Settings −> Disable All Sync Features is disabled (no checkmark beside it).
The Use xDrip Cloud setting should be enabled on all phones in the group.
