Hello,  
I have a DexCom G6, but cannot get the app to run on my new phone. New phone is a LG Stylo 6. Any help would be greatly appreciated , if there are any hacks or different apps to get the alerts to work on my phone. Please

Hi @Nannybird4 and welcome! The Dexcom app works with a narrow selection of Android phones, so many of us use XDrip instead. For the faint of heart, there is also an individual on Reddit who takes the official Dexcom app and removes the Play store restrictions so it will work on your phone.
