CamAPS FX comes to the iPhone in the UK
The mylife CamAPS FX closed-loop app became available on iPhone (iOS), reaching the UK in the May 2025 rollout wave.
Good, simple news for iPhone users: CamAPS FX, the app that runs the mylife closed-loop system with the YpsoPump, now works on iPhone, and the UK was part of the May 2025 rollout. Until now it only ran on Android phones, which locked out anyone with an iPhone. A closed loop means the pump and a glucose sensor talk to each other and adjust your background insulin automatically. If you use or are offered this system, an iPhone is now an option. There is nothing for you to do yourself, and your team helps with setup.
- CamAPS FX is the app, the software brain, that runs a closed loop using the YpsoPump and a glucose sensor.
- A closed loop reads your sensor and adjusts your background insulin for you; you still give the dose for meals, so it is a hybrid system.
- The change is that CamAPS FX now runs on iPhone (iOS) as well as Android, and the UK was in the May 2025 rollout.
- If having an iPhone was the thing stopping you, that barrier is gone: the therapy is the same, it is just a wider choice of phone.
- This is a system your diabetes team sets up and supports, so it is not something you install and run on your own.
What is actually new here
CamAPS FX is the app that drives a hybrid closed loop with the mylife YpsoPump. It reads your glucose sensor and keeps adjusting your background insulin, while you still give the dose for meals yourself. The system is not new. What changed in the May 2025 wave, which included the UK, is that the app now runs on iPhone as well as Android.
That sounds small, but it mattered to a lot of people. For years, anyone who wanted this particular loop had to use an Android phone, and people with an iPhone were simply left out. Now the same system is open to them.
What this changes for you
If you were put off this system because you have an iPhone, that reason has gone. The therapy itself works the same way whichever phone runs it, because the phone is the remote control, not the treatment. So this is a widening of choice rather than a change in how the loop behaves.
It is still a system your diabetes team sets up, trains you on and supports, so you would not simply download it and go. If you already use CamAPS FX on an Android phone and are happy, there is no need to change anything. And it is worth checking which specific iPhone models and sensors are supported, because your team can confirm what works with the current app.
