To download an older version of an application on your iPhone or iPad, the easiest method is to use the App Store purchase history. Open the App Store and navigate to the Purchased section. Search for the specific app you need, such as Viber or Skype. If you have downloaded this app in the past using your Apple ID, tap the cloud icon to begin the installation. A pop-up should appear stating that the current version is not compatible with your device but offering to download the last compatible version. Tap the Download button to confirm. If the app is not in your purchase history, you must first download it on a newer device using the same Apple ID. Once the app is linked to your account, you can return to your older device and follow the same steps to get the compatible version.
