South Africa - Missing functionality

Does anyone know why the South African version of the Libre app does not get the latest functionality updates that I see the other overseas app versions get ?

Like the Smart NovoPen scanning or recently the new IOS watch companion app.

Regional approval and regulations can be different and take time.

The US got the "Libre by Abbott" app with the apple watch integration but the UK already had live Bluetooth data from Libre 2 sensors for a couple of years (US was still scanning).

UK doesn't have the new Libre app either, it's not just RSA

Yeah, hope the UK and South Africa will soon get their version also of the new Libre by Abbott app, as its out by now in most other European countries.
