    It’s kinda annoying how the app store lists all the apps, but then tells you they’re not compatible only when you go to install them. I think I prefer the Play store method instead where they just don’t appear at all.

      Are you able to buy incompatible apps? If so that would be truly scummy.

      but… in play store they do appear and say its “unavailable for your device”, happened to me when searching for genshin impact on my old lg k40s

        Interesting. Maybe it thought you owned more than one device and was showing you things that you could install on one of those?

        Maybe I’m wrong. Just seems to happen all the time with older iPhones and iPads.

          most stuff on playstore works on all devices, so thats probably why you never saw one. i only discovered th`t because i had(and still have) a phone thats way older than most people’s

          if you generally buy newer phones its harder to find unavailable apps
