Like many off you I have been using the libre sensor for many off years now, and was actually excited about the new update they were bringing out, however since the update I am having nothing but issues, I get messages like sensor unavailable please try again in 10 minutes, signal lost, sensor faulty and its just near **** impossible to actually use or rely on now which is a shame. I was just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or anything similar. Look forward to hearing some comments relating this and thanks in advance. Paul
 
Have you downloaded the update which followed the update last weekend? The initial update had loads of bugs, which they then ironed out with a second update.

H Rachox I only use a Libre 2 sensor for extraordinary circumstances eg. Holiday or a hospital stay and just keep a spare in the cupboard. So next time I put a sensor on do I need to delete the current app and reinstall the new version app? TIA. The more I read on the long thread the more confused got lol.
 
iOS or Android? If the later, install when convenient. No significant evidence of problems. If iOS then you might need to research it a bit, because the roll out was a disaster, but for most it seems stable now, but some are still reporting issues. My very amateurish guess work suggest mainly on older iPhones but I could be well off with that.
 
I'm having the same issues on Android. Put a new sensor on yesterday and it constantly loses signal and my readings are all over the place and not consistent with Finger pricks

I would suggest you do to get the continuous glucose monitoring ( no scanning required). Load it from the App Store rather than your historical purchases to get the most up to date version. I use an iPhone 14 pro, I don’t know about Android phones though.
