Below is the highest versions of iOS available for some of older iOS devices:. However you may be still able to download the last compatible version. This means that, for instance, you may be able to download the Netflix app on your iOS device running 9. This article explains how you can do that:.

This means two things:. If you previously purchased this app, you can redownload and reinstall again. 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 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. By john. Very helpful. Apple makes it confusing to do this, but it's explained very well here. It's been frustrating not being able to download apps for my iPod Touch 4th gen but your workaround did the trick nicely.
Thank you! This article has helped me! I will forever be indebted. And mind you technology tips never work for me and my gadgets. By Mr. It doesn't work.
However, every time I try to sync it I just get the following message: "The app 'iBooks' was not installed. From what you describe, it sounds like you are trying to install the latest version of the iBooks app using iTunes, and that is not what this article is suggesting. The purpose of downloading the app in iTunes is just so you have ownership of the app.
Once you do, then the app needs to be downloaded from the App Store on your iPod touch. It should now ask you if you want to install an older version. Yes, I was trying it in the wrong way, and i don't know how to do it. Please guide me with more details step by step Please help me out. This doesn't work for me, I'm trying to get Snapchat back, I deleted it the other week too, experienced the same problem but then I got it back I'm not sure how but now I can't install it again?
Please help! I really need and want it back, please! I have iPod touch 4th gen. Thank you so, so much! This was reaaally helpful!
I thought there was no way to use some apps having other than the latest version of iOS and the latest devices. Yes, it does work for free apps; price has no bearing on older version availability. Thank you for the information. Your information is still relevant for iTunes version Thanks a Bunch!! Just managed to get a really useful app thanks to you! The work-around worked like a champ to let me download old version, EXCEPT when I try to open the app, it requires me to upgrade which of course I can't.
As mentioned, not all apps offer older versions. Although it did allow you to download an older version, the app developer does not want you to use it for one reason or another and has intentionally bricked it.
