    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    I'd say that compatibility appears to be random. I have used my old iPhone with unsupported software and it's been fine, then there are issues and so around it goes. You'll see on here that people with the same iOS version where one will be fine and the other with problems so severe that they...

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    Support for iOS 18.5 has been added to the versions supported. Problem is Apple are up to iOS 18.7 and 18.5 is unavailable. Therefore the app is not deemed compatible with a current iPhone.

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    Just for the record. The iPhone iOS is now 18.7 or iOS26 for those with newer phones. Abbott are still stuck on 18.3.2.

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    I understand how you feel it is a sensor problem and I felt the same way, however, since upgrading my iPhone and not updating the iOS beyond that confirmed as compatible with the app I have had no issues at all. When it works like this it is great but the cost seems to be that the iOS cannot be...

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    Another update. Abbott has again reissued its compatibility list (July 2025) and for iOS it remains at 18.3.2 despite iOS now being on 18.6.2, having passed through 18.4,18.4.1,18.5, 18.6, 18.6.1 and now 18.6.2. Others on here have said that they have upgraded their iPhone iOS without any...

    Anyone having big reliability issues with Freestyle Libre 2 Plus sensors?

    If you’ve problems using your phone it’d be helpful to know details of the operation system version number (iOS or Android version).

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    This looks like a good way forward. I recently pointed out the problems that their lax way of confirming compliance causes for users, but their response seemed to show they hadn’t read my email with any care and they just trotted out their usual “you mustn’t upgrade until compliance has been...

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    This is the first time that I have been able to identify the iOS as the probable cause of any issues but it may have been lurking behind the scenes previously. I haven't used an Android phone since using the Libre system but I suspect the same apples there as Abbott also specify the phones and...

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    Quick update. I see that Abbott has reissued its compatibility list (seems to be dated April 2025) and it now goes up to iOS 18.3.2. I now have a reconditioned iPhone 13 with iOS18.3 so I'm not updating until Abbott confirm compatibility with any newer iOS version.

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    And as I have said twice, we need better communication from Abbott. The compatibility document seems to have been last updated in February. Edited for spelling typo

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    As stated above, my phone is an iPhone 8. It is now on the latest iOS compatible with that particular phone (iOS 16.7.11). I noticed that SpitTheDog1963 stated above the the support desk has stated that iOS 18.4.1 is the cause of STD63’s problems. Again, I think we need better communications...

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    Yes, I agree entirely. The front line support staff are no doubt doing all they can with the information provided to them but they just can’t provide the support needed for users to move forward. I’ve now established that refurbished iPhones are usually sold with iOS updated to latest version...

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    Okay, to be clearer, the reader that I received from the support team three weeks ago does. It has a blue face with the wording ‘Freestyle Libre 2’. In settings you can set the alarms and adjust the levels for high and low alarms. I needed to start the sensor with the reader for it to work. If...

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    I hope that it continues to work for you but iOS 18.4.1 is not in the compatibility table. My experience with a non compatible iOS version has been intermittent success. I honestly hope it works for you.

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    Admitted this is true, but also consider the catch22 when buying a new phone that will have an operating system that is ahead of Librelink compatibility and no assurance that Librelink will catch up.
