The Google Play store is filled with millions of apps and a lot of new ones are added every day and the old ones are also updated with new features and bug fixes. The Play Store also has a beta program where the users could sign up to get the latest features for testing before everyone else.

But the problem with these beta updates and the new version of app updates, in general, is that some of them might include a new feature you like or simply remove an old one like Whatsapp did for the status updates. Sometimes, the new version might not work properly on your phone or have some bugs and you want to go back to the older version of the app.

But you cannot simply uninstall the new version and sideload the APK of the older version of the app because sometimes when you uninstall an app, all the data associated with it might also be removed. So, here is a way where you can downgrade an Android app to an older version without losing your data. This method is very simple and quick and it also does not require root access to work.
