HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE OLDER VERSION OF SNAPCHAT ON IOS 11

HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE OLDER VERSION OF SNAPCHAT ON IOS 11
PREPARE YOUR DEVICE

Before you go back in time, you must prepare your device beforehand. You would want to clean all your data up and remove a few tweaks.

This will make sure that the backup and downgrade processes go smoothly.

Step 1 First and foremost, delete any and all Snapchat tweaks installed on your iPhone.

Step 2 Download the latest version of the Snapchat app from the App Store.



Step 3 Log in to your account using your username and password.



Step 4 Install App Admin or AppStore++ tweak from Cydia. If you decide to install AppStore++, keep in mind that it may not work properly on your device or firmware version.
BACK UP SNAPCHAT DATA

Performing an on-device backup of Snapchat’s user data is essential before you downgrade the app. If you don’t skip this step, the app will throw login errors later on.

Step 4 Open Cydia and add Tigisoftware repo (http://tigisoftware.com/cydia/).

Step 5 Install Apps Manager app from this source. What this does is, it lets you back up and restore the user data of an application locally. It will appear on your home screen once you install it.



Step 6 Launch the app.



Step 7 Scroll down and select Snapchat from the “Applications” list. Tap Backup and then select Backup Snapchat Data to confirm.




DOWNGRADE SNAPCHAT TO VERSION 10.22.2 OR BELOW

Step 8 Delete the latest version of Snapchat from your iPhone.

Step 9 Open the App Store app, search for Snapchat and open its page.

Step 10 Press the cloud icon and tap Downgrade from the popup menu.



Step 11 Select 10.22.2 (824446511) from the “Known Versions” list. Alternatively, you can select version 10.18.1 if you plan to install a tweak down the line. For those who don’t know, this version works well alongside all tweaks.



Step 12 Wait for the App Store to fetch and install this version on your smartphone.


SET UP SNAPCHAT

Now that you have successfully downloaded the older version of Snapchat, it’s time to pull a few switches and set it up for usage. This section will walk you through the entire setup process step-by-step.

Step 13 Once the app appears on your home screen, don’t open it just yet. Instead, go back and open Apps Manager.

Step 14 Scroll down and select Snapchat.

Step 15 Tap Restore and select the backup you made in step 7.



Step 16 Open Cydia, go to Tigisoftware’s source (http://tigisoftware.com/cydia/) and install Filza file manager.

Step 17 Open Filza app and navigate to /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/Snapchat/Documents.





Step 18 Tap Edit then select the scheduledlenses.plist file and tap Trash to delete it.



Step 19 Open Snapchat and you can now use its older layout without logging in.



Step 20 Open the App Store again and access Snapchat’s page.

Step 21 Long Press the OPEN button and tap Block All Updates. Doing so will block all future updates from the App Store and ensure the app stays on the older version.


INSTALL SCOTHMAN/PHANTOM LITE TWEAK

You can now install a jailbreak tweak to extend the functionality of the vanilla app. For example, you can upload from camera roll, save snaps, among other options.

However, this section is entirely optional and it is not mandatory to install a tweak.
IOS 11


Open Cydia, open the Search tab and type “SCOthman For Snap (iOS 11)”.


Install the latest official version of SCOthman from the BigBoss repo. And remember, don’t install the “SCOthman For Snap (iOS 10 – 11)” as some features like the upload button are not functional.




Open the app again and ensure SCOthman displays the activation message.


IOS 10


If you are on iOS 10-10.3.3, you can install Phantom Lite from Cokepokes repository (http://cokepokes.github.io).
ERRORS AND TROUBLESHOOTING


If the app crashes on launch, immediately tap on the camera.


If this doesn’t solve the crashing problem, close the app from the app switcher and open it again.


If the app still keeps crashing on startup, enable Airplane mode and retry.


Download NoSubstitute and disable Substitute for Snapchat if you are experiencing the “could not refresh” error.
