I read something that seemed this would be possible, but I’ve since seen some conflicting advice. I had downloaded the app and was ready to head down to Superdrug to buy the sensor. Don’t want it to be a waste of time though! Help?
 
Hello @Helzhelz Yes is the answer to your question - if you have successfully downloaded the app on your iphone then you are ok to use the sensor - I think it's iphone 7 and upwards that are compatible with the app.
 
Excellent! Thank you! I’ve just bought the sensor do £35 from Superdrug with absolutely no problems at all.
 
That's great news, hope you enjoy using it
 
As long as you have an Iphone 7 or above its fine. Something to do with the NFC's in the older Iphones not being compatible.
Good luck with the Libre
