Learn how to fix the annoying "This application requires iOS 13.4 or later" error and install apps on older iPhones without jailbreaking! If you have an iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 Plus, or older iPad stuck on iOS 12 or earlier, Apple blocks you from downloading modern apps directly from the App Store.

In this step-by-step tutorial, discover how to force the App Store to download an older compatible version of unsupported apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, Netflix, Instagram, and TikTok on any outdated iOS device.

We cover two working methods:

Method 1 (Borrow a Device): Use a friend’s or family member’s newer iPhone to link the app to your Apple ID purchase history so your older device can grab the last supported version.

Method 2 (PC/Mac via iTunes): Use the official iTunes 12.6.5.3 enterprise version with a built-in App Store to claim apps directly from your computer—no second iPhone required! (Includes a quick fix for the "iTunes Library.itl cannot be read" error).
