Android has improved significantly when it comes to app permissions compared to just a year or two ago, but Android 11 is making further improvements when it comes to sharing your location. And it’s taking an approach that is very similar to what exists in iOS.
In Android 10, if an app asks for location access you’ll get three options on first boot: allow access while using the app, allow access all the time, or deny access.

Garmin has released a new Dexcom app to the Connect IQ store. People with diabetes who own a Dexcom G6 CGM will be able to see their real-time blood glucose levels on their compatible Garmin devices.

Much like the One M8, the One M9 didn’t require any heating whatsoever to remove the back panel.
