every so often i see people complain about how 'their app auto updated and they dont like the new version and they wish they had the old one back' and like i dont get it because you can?
do yall not know you can downgrade apps??
you just need the APK, its the exact same way app stores install apps except youre doing it manually
you aren't always stuck with an update you hate, you can just go back (with exceptions for the apps that force you to have the latest version in order to use them ππ)
like you can even go back to the really old tumblr app, i tried it once
theres a few versions with bugs that crash the app upon opening but going up like .001 or whatever usually works
the old app doesn't even have ads, they just dont work, nor does it have tumblr live
polls dont work of course, and it doesnt have the new version of the notes, where reblogs and comments are separate, but if you don't care about that its still there
its still functional
you don't have to use a version you hate
turn auto update off, and manually install apps, and you have so much more open to you
you can even install apps that used to work on your devices that the app store says arent supported anymore
9/10 times that app still works they just removed it for some reason
theres a thousand and one websites that collect the old APKs for you to download them from, its the same concept as pirating
its not some thing you usually have to go in and mess with the code, its built in to a lot of devices for you to be able to do it
my tablet literally has a file section built in to sort installable files in
You can go back!
You don't have to use it!
Reverse that thing, go back, its there, you have choices!!
#tumblr update#app update#idk any other tags to use lol#but like yeah ive been using Apks for years#its literally no different than pirating games or whatever#its probably easier as a matter of fact#literally the only thing is to make sure its not a virus#and in the years ive been doing it i think only one has had a virus and that was a shady app in the first place#a lot of things are still there#you dont have to deal with the newβ you can return to old!
