v7.0.0

LoopFollow v7.0.0 was released on 25 July 2026

Manual Notes

📢 LoopFollow 7.0 is here!

This is a big release — rebuilt charts, an onboarding guide, custom alarm sounds, smarter alarms, and a long list of fixes.

⚠️ iOS 18 required

As announced earlier, this release raises the minimum iOS version from 16.6 to 18.0. Before you update: This release requires iOS 18 (iPhone XS/2018 or newer). If your phone can't update, your current version keeps working fine.

✨ New features

• A new setup wizard walks you through getting started — choosing your data source, connecting Nightscout or Dexcom, picking units, and setting up your first alarms with good defaults.
• The graphs (blood sugar, treatments, predictions, stats) have been rebuilt to look and feel the same but run smoother and more reliably.
• You can now use custom sounds for alarms, not just the built-in tones.
• The low-alarm early warning now works properly when following someone on Trio, and a bug that stopped it firing early for Loop users is fixed.
• Three new optional settings (all off by default): keep Low BG alarms quiet while sugar is already rising, keep High BG alarms quiet while it's already falling, and skip the low-battery alarm while your phone is charging.
• Numbers you're tracking (like IOB, battery, sensor age) can turn yellow or red as a visual warning when they cross limits you set — no alarm sound, just a color change.
• A new banner at the top of the app clearly flags when something's wrong — like a bad Nightscout connection, wrong password, or a dying sensor — instead of failing silently.
• An optional warning for when your Nightscout database is getting full, so you can clean it up in time.
• Search now works in the alarms list, the "add alarm" screen, and the menu (including settings).
• Plus smaller fixes: carb dots no longer overlap on the chart, a crash from pasting a Nightscout token is fixed, forecasts stay on the graph properly, expired snoozed alarms clear themselves out, and a few display glitches with insulin numbers and timestamps are corrected.

Thanks to everyone who contributed, tested, and reported issues — and a special shout-out to @dnzxy and the Trio team for the chart collaboration. Good things keep flowing between the two projects, in both directions.
