Step 3: Download the Old Version of the App Now that you have uninstalled the newer version of the app, you can proceed to download the old version. To do this, follow these steps:
Search for the APK file of the app you want to downgrade. You can either use a search engine or check the website of the app’s developer. Download the APK file to your device.
