Hi. I too am waiting as I think there are a few significant planned improvements. I asked ChatGPT and it seems as though late 2026 or early 2027 is the planned roll out for the uk.
Morning I am an Omnipod 5 user. I received this email to say that an update would be released soon

Dear user,
We are writing to inform you that in the coming days a software update will be made available to users which includes system improvements to your Omnipod® 5 Controller. When the update is ready for you, you will receive a notification on your Omnipod 5 Controller to install a software update to version 4.0.3. Instructions on the Controller screen will walk you through the process of installing this update.
The updated version will enable Omnipod 5 users to integrate with the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor:
The FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor will become a sensor option in the select sensor menu
We strongly recommend installing the update as soon as possible to ensure that you are using the latest software. Please note, if you choose not to update to the latest software at this time, it will become mandatory at a later date.
If you are planning to connect a different sensor with Omnipod 5, please note the following:
Speak to your Healthcare Professional to discuss the change. If agreed, you will:
Need to request a prescription for the new sensor.
Request training on how to use the new sensor from your Healthcare Professional.
Please check the compatibility of your Pods which is highlighted on the Pod Tray lid and in the top right-hand corner of the Box of Pods
Please use your existing Pods and sensors before switching to a new sensor.
Consult your HCP if, once you will have switched sensors, your Pods would no longer be compatible with your new sensor.
Please note:
To install the Omnipod 5 software update:
Ensure the Controller battery is charged to above 15%.
We advise patients to take the software update using a strong Wi-Fi connection.
