How do I install an older version of an app on an iPhone? Ask Question 14. And using iOS 7.0.4. Basically, you download the app from the App Store in your computer. Then, find the app on your phone and instead of Get+ it should display the Cloud download. If the app has an older compatible version available, you should be able to install it. As we noted above, if you fire up an old iPad using iOS 5 and try to download darn near anything from the App Store, iOS 5 is so ancient that installation will almost certainly fail for 99% of apps (even if that app is old enough to have an ancient iOS 5-era version). Actually you can download older versions of iOS apps, but it’s tricky. If you successfully install the latest version on a different device (eg your new phone) then when you try to install the same app on an earlier version of IOS (eg your old phone or iPad) it should prompt you to install the older version that is compatible with the older device.
Ever get an update to an iOS app that just completely destroyed the app and made it terrible? There’s a way to roll back to older versions if you’re willing to jump through some hoops.
The process for downgrading apps differs slightly between OS X and Windows. On a Mac, you’ll need an app called Charles, while on Windows you’ll need Fiddler. From there, you’ll need to run through a ton of steps, dig through some XML files, and jump through various other hoops to get the old version of an app. It’s a bit of work, but it’s worth it if an update really screwed with an app you use often (looking at you, YouTube).
