OK, so here is what I've concluded so far. And this certainly could change given more user inputs. It looks like the DEF display in the app started with 2020 and then the version of Sync controls whether the app displays the DEF level. None of the Sync 4 commenters had the DEF display in the app. I wasn't able to fill-in the Sync version for each commenter but based on Sync 4 not being available until 2022 and 2022 Lariat and above all having Sync 4, I got the majority.
Model years 2020 thru 2022 with Sync 3 (all trim levels on Sync 3) - Yes
Model year 2019 with Sync 3 (at least Lariat) - No
Model year 2022 with Sync 4 (all trim levels on Sync 4) - No
This is based on 18 different users commenting on 20 different truck or phone configurations. Jaredtown's response pointed me to my conclusion that I was then able to see on a spreadsheet I threw together. His two 22 trucks, one XLT (Sync 3 with DEF display) and one Platinum (Sync 4 without DEF display). The phone OS didn't make any difference.

I've have a 2022 F350 Lariat Ultimate with Sync 4. The DEF level was showing in my Ford App when I setup the app, WiFi, etc. I took delivery in October of last year. Sometime during this year, the DEF level display was lost in my Ford App.

So has anyone reported made Forscan changes that could have made a difference?

The real question, who is sitting around in their house at zero dark thirty and feels the need to use their phone to see what the DEF level in their truck might be? I can see using the app to start the truck or lock/unlock it but is checking DEF away from the truck really needed.
