Identify the release you mean
“Old version” can mean an earlier interface, an older Android requirement or a previous package. Collect the exact versionName and integer versionCode. A page labelled 2025, 2026 or 2027 does not provide either field by itself.
Compare releases on evidence
| Compare | Current candidate | Older candidate |
|---|---|---|
| Publisher | Same verified identity | Same verified identity |
| Package and signing history | Record from the file | Compare with installed release |
| Android API and ABI | Must fit your device | Must also fit your device |
| Support status | Check current publisher notice | Check whether security fixes still arrive |
| Data format | Record backup options | Older code may not read newer local data |
An older APK is not a universal fix
Android can reject downgrades or mismatched signatures. Deleting the installed app to force a downgrade can erase local data. If the current release fails to install, first use the diagnostic checklist to establish whether the issue is file integrity, API compatibility or signing identity.
Archive status on this site
The supplied reference includes 1 old-version article but 0 bundled older APK files. We therefore publish a comparison guide rather than inventing an archive of numbered releases. The APK source directory identifies the source-linked candidates separately.
Sources and scope
References checked on 26 October 2026. A general rules reference describes its own game or convention; it does not establish the settings of an untested APK.
