iPhone software updates

Is it ok to update software even if Abbott/Freestyle does not show on its web site that a particular update has been approved?

There was one alert some months ago from Abbott not to update a particular software update which is understood, however, if they do not put out an alert then you could be compromising your security waiting for them to update their website?

Hi,
This is ALWAYS difficult to decide I use a DexCom G6 and they have been getting slower and slower to approve updates. I use third party websites to decide if I should apply the update. My main source is https://www.reddit.com which has sub-reddits ( forums ) for everything and there is one for 'Freestylelibre' . There are people in this forum that say they have updated to iOS 18 and have no issues. However phones are like normal computers and there are many variations of each phone and each phone update. It's generally agreed that minor version updates are pretty much all ok i.e 17.6 to 17.7 , the risker ones are going from 17.x to 18.x as the changes in iOS are bigger and more likely to cause issues. That said iOS 18 has been around for months now and I haven't seen anyone with major issues with a CGM.
