Libre systems FAQs
How do I know if my smartphone is compatible with the Libre app?
The Libre app* is compatible with iPhone and Android mobile devices. Please check our smartphone compatibility guide for the latest information on compatibility.

What should I do if I see a “Sensor Error” message while wearing a Libre systems sensor?
A “Sensor Error” message means your Libre systems sensor has paused your glucose readings while it runs a quality check. The sensor will start showing readings again automatically once the check is done.
Tap the “i” symbol for more details, and check your Libre app* after the time shown in the message.
If the error message is still there after that time, please fill out the quick and easy online sensor support request form, or contact our Customer Care Team at 855-632-8658; available 7 days a week 8 AM to 8 PM Eastern Time; excluding holidays.
