Suppose you recently updated your PhonePe app on your Android mobile and encountered issues or preferred the previous version. In that case, you might wonder how to reverse or downgrade the app update. While it’s not possible to directly revert to an earlier version through the official Google Play Store, there are alternative methods you can try to uninstall the current version and install an older version of PhonePe. Following these steps, you can restore the previous functionality and interface you prefer on your Android device.
Why must you Reverse/Downgrade the Phonepe 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.
Phonepe App 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 Phonepe App Update on Android Mobiles?
Depending on your Android device’s OS, there are different ways to roll back updates. For example, you can try the steps below if your Android device runs on Android 6.0 or older.

Stop Automatic App Update after uninstalling the updates
After reverting the update, you must turn off “Automatic Updates” so 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.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your mobile smartphone
- On the homepage, tap the navigation icon at the top-left corner (the three horizontal dashes).

- Select the “Don’t auto-update apps” option and then “Done.”
Sideload the Old version of the Phonepe App.
You must choose the app based on your Android version and the “no dpi” universal app. The above official uninstalls 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.
- Download the Old Phonepe App from the APK mirror or safe sites.
- 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 Phonepe App 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 we may not find other useful parts of the Original app whenever we go for alternatives. So, It is better to downgrade/reverse the Phonepe App. Also, it would help if you stopped automatic updates; otherwise, you will always need to revert your apps to their old versions.
