Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below. This is about installing a previous version of an app, not dealing with newer versions on an old iOS. So, unfortunately, you will not be able to install older app versions. Your email address will not be published.

Thank you for this article! NetFlix lives again on my resurrected 3G running albeit slowly iOS4. Thank you. I got a compatible version of Skype for my iPod 4th gen!!! Thank you so much! It's really work for me, the workaround. The App requires iOS 7 so it won't let me download it from the App store.
I tried getting the app on my computer then installing it on my synced device to get an older version but the message asking me if I want to install the older version never comes up. It only says that I need iOS for the app to download. I had the previous version of the app on my ipod up until 10 min ago before I deleted it to download the new one before I knew that I needed iOS 7 for the app , but I don't know if I have ever backed up my ipod before to try to downgrade the current app.
Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch. Note that not all apps offer older versions. If you don't have the app in your iTunes library on your computer, then the older version is lost, sorry. Dear Apple Club, I have the older version of an app on my 1st gen I pad. What I am trying to do is to get this particular app onto my new I pad air. I have DL'd the app from I tunes when I synced my devices, but the version that showed up on my Air, did not have any of my data on it from the older version although I logged in.
Could you advise me step by step as to how to resolve this problem? I asked the app developers, but I think they are from a foreign country and are not getting back with me. If I didn't really love this app I wouldn't mess with it.
Thanks bunches! There are different ways that apps store data, and we probably wouldn't have knowledge of a particular app, so you'll probably have to wait for a reply from their support. I have an app, Music Tube, that I have updated twice since the version I like, and last night I was able to go back to the most previous version using a video on Youtube, which I think showed the same way. Is it possible to go back to the version before it?
If I can't do it on my own computer, I told my cousin about it. Maybe she hasn't updated it since then, but she might of. Enjoying Spotify right now, not as fancy as the latest version I can see in my android mobile but oh I don't mind.
It's the Music that matters. Thank you, thank you, thank you! When Yahoo Weather added ads I tried this method of local installation to get around it. It worked! This works brilliantly! These instructions are a lot better than Apple's as they assume you already own the app!
By Jonika. Instagram used to let download the last compatible version with my ios6 4th gen iPod and now it won't let me redownload. Instead of the message being:the newest version requires ios7 but the latest compatible version can be downloaded, and then it giving me the option to download the other version it just tells me: this application requires ios7 to be opened and used and the only option below is ok Please Help.
I just now downloaded Instagram on iOS 6 without issue - the older version was still offered. Do you have an existing copy of the app that you are trying to update? Are you using a different Apple ID than when you downloaded it before?
Both of these could be the cause of not being offered an older version. When was the last time you downloaded it successfully? I have the exact same problem as jonika r. I had Instagram on my iPod 4th gen and I deleted it like usual but this one time it didnt pop up the option to download the last compatible version. I am still using the same exact apple ID as before but same problem it only tells me that the app requires ios7 or later still no option to download the last compatible version.
Please help guys I need Instagram back bad!!! Hi can someone please help me I have iphone 6 with the iOS 8 my phone kept playing up shutting down apps freezing and comig up and white screen resulting in me having to turn it on and off again constantly to work however my whatsapp was the only app that never used to close down but yesterday it kept coming up for me to type my number in on whatsapp as if I had just downloaded it once I was doing that it wouldn't do anything further but close it down numerous times so I thought if I reinstalled it would work again once I done that I discovered it had downloaded the newest version of whatsapp and had deleted all my chats, status etc I have been trying to solve the issue with apple and whatsapp but been no help I didn't back my phone up on iCloud as my phone is relatively new and hadn't got the chance to connect to wifi to do a backup, is there anyway I can redownload my older version of whatsapp as I hate the new version also is there anyway to get my data back?!
Please help any info would be appreciated. Unless you saved a copy of the older version of WhatsApp, you won't be able to re-install it, sorry. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer, there's a chance the old version may still be there.
