Download WhatsApp for iPad without App Store

If you don't have access to a newer device, you can still get the app on your older one using someone else's Apple ID account. Sign into a friend or family member's account and then download the app on that device. If you do so using the same Apple ID account, it should appear in the purchased page on your older device as well.

If you have a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running newer software, use that to download the app you want. Since the app is too new to work on your current device, try downloading it from a newer device instead.

If you can't find the app you want to download in your Purchased page, it's possible you never downloaded it from this Apple ID account before. Try downloading the incompatible app from a newer device first and then tap the cloud icon to re-download it.

To do so, open the App Store app and tap on the Account icon to view your Account. When you re-download an app from here, developers often give you the option to download an older, compatible version of it.

In fact, it doesn't even matter if you had it on a different device, as long as you used the same Apple ID account to download it. You might be able to download an older version of the app you want if you had it on your device once before.

By following these steps, you can find compatible versions of apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Whether you inherited a hand-me-down device or have owned your vintage iPad since it first came out, we've got you sorted.

Sometimes, it seems as though you can't even re-download the apps you used to have on your device! But that isn't actually the case. Without updating your device - which isn't always an option - it looks as though you can't download any new apps. This normally happens when your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't running the latest operating software, so apps aren't designed for it anymore.

By following these steps, you can still enjoy your favorite apps on your older device without having to update.
