EU iPhone and iPad users can now install older versions of games thanks to Aptoide app store

iPhone and iPad users in the European Union now have access to a new alternative app store, Aptoide, which specialises in games.

Here's What We Know

Aptoide has long been a well-known Android app store, but the company began developing an iOS version after Apple added support for downloading apps from other sources last year. The store has been in beta testing since June 2024, but it is now available to all EU users.

The company representatives noted that the full launch of Aptoide is an important milestone in the distribution of games on iOS and demonstrates their commitment to creating an open and seamless ecosystem for app distribution.

Aptoide is a free alternative app store available on iPhone and iPad for EU residents. Aptoide is unique in its support for backwards compatibility, allowing users to install and play older versions of iOS games.

This feature is useful for owners of older iPhones who cannot update the software or for those who prefer older versions of games. A selection of Aptoide games can be found on the company's official website.
