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

Hello all newbie here. I’m having the exactly same issues. It fails quickly like signal loss. Pausing and last 10+ mins. Then suddenly says replace.
I’ve used two sensors since 19/08/2025. First constant loss of signal and connection. Replacement applied after 8 days as I just could not get a reading. Second sensor applied 17/08/2025 and stated loosing connection the next day. Then for almost 18 hours showed me as being hypo! Awoke 0310 hrs on 19/08/2025 by alarm saying I needed to apply a new sensor as the one I had in has stopped working.

Phoned Abbott to be told there is a comparability issue between the Libre 2plus and the latest IOS. this is causing the connection issues. Their technical people are working on a fix for it! They’ve offered to replace the two sensors and give me a reader free of charge while I wait.

If there is a comparability issue what haven’t Abbott put something in there site regarding this issue. It was the first place I checked.
 
Abbott is sometimes behind in keeping up with IOS updates. I have version 18.6.1, what do you have?
 
That’s odd, it was not working even before I updated and I’m hoping it solves my issue. Going to upgrade my phone hopefully soon so the Bluetooth hopefully gets better
 
Update has been released for the libre 2 app in the uk if anyone hasn’t notice. it’s a bug fix and performance update
Hopefully it solves issues some are having

? Last update I see 25th April 25
 
The update: This update addresses the issue where customers using iPhones with a newly-installed FSLL 2.12.1 were unable to start or scan sensors if they were not logged into the app.
