Android³⁵: After you’ve applied a FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor to the back of your upper arm, open the app and hold the back of your Android phone near (exact distance will vary by phone) the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor to scan it. The size and location of the NFC antenna in Android phones varies by make and model, so you may have to move the phone around to find the best position for scanning the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor. 

Once you have found the optimal scan position, wait for the app to produce two distinct tones or vibrations before you move the phone away from the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor. The first tone indicates the phone’s NFC has recognized the sensor. The second tone indicates the scan is complete.
