Why do you need to Reverse/Downgrade the WhatsApp App Update on your Mobile?

Indeed, not all of us love new versions of our favorite. This is usually because we have become so familiar with the old version (or interface) that the latest update may seem messy or uncomfortable. In such a situation, the best solution is to roll back the app update so you can still use the old version.

Regardless, we can’t stop developers from rolling out new app updates. However, some persons who have activated “Automatic updates” apps will automatically update to the latest version once their device is connected to the Internet. Thus, there is an update rollout from the developer. So the best you can do is to stick to your preferred version and don’t update.

WhatsApp is one of the apps many of us use frequently, and if you’re looking for a way to get back to the old version (because you don’t know the new interface that rolled out with the latest version), follow the steps below.

How to Reverse/Downgrade WhatsApp Update on Android Mobiles?

Depending on your Android device’s OS, there are different ways to roll back updates. For example, if your Android device runs on Android 6.0 or older versions, you can try out the steps below.

whatsapp downgrade

  • Tip: If your device runs on newer Android versions and the latest PlayStore version, click on your Profile icon to access the menu options.
  • Open the Google Play Store app on your mobile smartphone.
  • On the homepage, tap on the navigation icon at the top-left corner (the three horizontal dashes).
  • Tap on My Apps from the side menu.
  • Scroll down or search for WhatsApp on your apps list.
  • Open WhatsApp when you see it and tap on the Uninstall Updates button.
  • Confirm the actions, and that’s it.

Stop Automatic App Update after uninstalling the updates

After reverting the update, you will need to turn off “Automatic Updates” so that your apps won’t update to their latest version when you connect to a WiFi network. Below are the steps to turn off automatic updates on Android smartphones.

Stop Play store auto update screenshots

  • Open the Google Play Store app on your mobile smartphone
  • On the homepage, tap on the navigation icon at the top-left corner (the three horizontal dashes).
  • Tap on Settings from the side menu
  • Go to General and tap on “Auto-update apps.”
  • Select the “Don’t auto-update apps” option and then “Done.”

Sideload the Old version of the WhatsApp

You have to choose the app based on your Android version and the “no dpi” universal app. The above official uninstall update will be helpful when the current update affects your app. But when you want to use the two or three versions old update, you must manually install the app version using third-party sites.

whatsapp install

  • Download the Old WhatsApp from APK mirror or similar safe sites.
  • Enable Unknown Sources in your Android mobiles.
  • Install the app. Sometimes the Installation may ask to replace the app version. Allow replacing.

Wrap Up

The method above will help you return the WhatsApp on your phone to the previous version you prefer. App developers always push updates in the Play Store to make the app with new features. When they leave some valuable elements in the new app update, we choose the Alternative apps. But whenever we go for alternatives, we may not find other useful features of the Original app. So, It is better to downgrade/reverse the WhatsApp app. Also, it would help if you stopped automatic updates; otherwise, you will always need to revert your apps to their old versions. Some Android TV apps don’t support the latest Twitter UI. In those situations, you have to use the Android TV sideload method. We hope this article helps you out with your need. When you face any issues during the Twitter reverse process, Comment below.
