Wouldn't it be nice to have a definitive statement from Abbott about what they're doing to fix the problem and some sort of timescale? Ah well, we can dream I suppose... I find it hard to believe that Apple just roll out these updates without some sort of prior warning to app developers - given...

Just repeating that it all works fine for you is no help at all to those of us for whom it clearly doesn't. My iPhone 14 auto-updated itself to the latest iOS version - 18.4.1 - and now won't see the sensor at all.

Hi all, My iPhone recently updated its OS. Today my Libre 2+ sensor expired and I attempted to start a new one but it wouldn't even scan. Having spoken to Abbott Customer Care it now turns out that the app on my phone isn't compatible with the upgraded iOS software and I'm thrown back to using...

Its still a very good point. But I just had a sensor fail after only two hours service - it defaulted to reading 2.9mol and refused to move from that, so I rang Abbott's Customer Service line. They were very helpful and sent me a replacement sensor which arrived two days later together with a...

As you might see in the iPhone thread, I've just bought one. The Libre app is working perfectly except for the fact that my current sensor is still reluctant to connect or stay connected. Once I get it downloaded to the phone by bringing them into physical contact it will stay connected and...

Its that man again! So - I took the plunge and got an iPhone thinking that if things didn't work I could always sell it again. I don't use my phone for much except calls, texts and the occasional bit of navigation so I'm not interested in phone contracts with phone purchase built in; I buy...

Maybe they're both from a bad batch? I get four at a time; the first was fine, this the second is definitely not working properly. I'll just have to wait and see what the third and fourth do.

Lakeslover, thank you for this; that thread is very informative. I'm astonished that a company like Abbott can't configure an app which supports their product to work on a huge sector of the smartphone market. If I were them I'd either be kicking on the door of the in-house IT department or...

Meh. If you read what I wrote you'll see that we already bought the Apple Tag AND an iPad with which to track it. I simply want to know whether the Abbott app runs on an iPhone if I decide to change. Sheesh...

No, she doesn't have a phone - she's lost three this year already, and when she had one she couldn't remember how to make or answer a call. Thats why we went down the Apple Tag route.

At the risk of wearing out my welcome this technical numpty is back with what is no doubt another stupid question. Bit of background - I'm a carer for my wife who is starting to suffer from dementia - occasionally she'll go out and lose track of where she is, where she should be and how to get...

Thank you LittleGreyCat - two days in and it seems to be starting to behave itself.

Well that is a very good point. I never really thought about it like that, somehow assuming that because a used sensor is potentially contaminated with blood products that made it somehow different. However, even at my advanced age we live and learn (for so long as we live!) - I'll puth them in...

But it’s also - at least technically - contaminated with bodily fluids and therefore potentially a biohazard which should be incinerated?
