Delete TikTok.

Well that’s too bad. If jailbreaking doesn’t get me what I need this’ll be my last iPhone.

😂😂😂😂

That guess is way too high. Tiktok users are like 14 and below. At least the power users. I think they just managed to squeeze into the generation that were brought up by an iPad with infinite, seemingly AI generated “kids” videos. Tiktok is a cancer on society and the youth.

I do still recommend updating your iPhone to the lates iOS version, but since I understand your point of view, and I am just a random internet stranger, I don't blame you for not wanting to update.

It’s cancer and nothing but a Chinese data farm. Kids brains are rotting away thanks to that spyware crap. Fuck Tiktok.

Don’t want or need anything later than iOS 14. 13 has suited me for a long time so I don’t want or need anything else as I don’t care about new features or so-called security stuff. I don’t even use my phone beyond text, email, GPS apps, SiriusXM (cannot download) or work related stuff (cannot download) and I do not store anything on my phone that if compromised will do anything.

If I jailbreak the phone could I install the newer versions of the apps that are causing me the trouble without updating iOS?

The problem isn't getting an IPSW and getting iTunes to install it, the issue is that anytime you do that apples server's validate that it's still being signed, ios14 is longer being signed for the iPhone 8 so there's no way to install on that device.

If you don’t have AppleCare, all what you’re talking about doesn’t matter. That limited warranty wasn’t going to cover a degrading battery on and old phone

Why did they feel the need to edit it? This is Reddit

You can only do so with signed version, and IIRC Apple unsigned all the versions older than the current.

You can probably do so when you jailbreak it, bur I have no experience with that and I don't think it's the solution you're looking for.

May I ask why you don't want the latest version? It also contains some important security updates.

My 3-year-old 11 Pro Max is currently sitting at 87% capacity but it's been there for a suspiciously long time... I've still got AppleCare on it so I'm not terribly worried, it's just a bit strange that it hasn't changed capacities for so long

Most Samsungs before the s10 series had this issue, my old s6, s7, and s8 active all had a major burn in on the screen

You used to be able to download a previous version online and force iTunes to install it. Is that not possible anymore?

You can't as it's not available anymore.

And you’ve avoided answering what burn in means too. You’ve proved nothing

Nah I’m right. Karma doesn’t equate to being correct. And I don’t care about karma lol

You can't, you can only update to the latest version - being 16.2

Hell, my 12 is at 81% after ‘only’ 2 years and a month. This guy got pretty lucky if you ask me.

Well, there is Naked News…

Yes, he caught too much sun.

😂😂 keep going bro. Your karma is falling faster than FTX. You’re 100% incorrect

My bad, I thought you were the OP. If you’re 39 and you use TikTok, that’s fine, because you’re not using it so much that it’s burning into your display. Sorry for the insult. I’m sure I’m into things that you’re like “how tf can you enjoy that” lol

I was barely beginning to the understand the Snapchat phenomenon when TikTok seemingly came out of nowhere. I guess this is what getting old is like
