How to Downgrade System Apps without ADB Commands or PC

In this guide, we will show you the steps to downgrade system apps on your Android device without using ADB Commands or PC. If the developer has rolled out a buggy updater or completely overhauled the UI/UX aspect, then in such cases, your best bet is to downgrade that app to its earlier version. In this regard, if we talk about user apps, then you could easily carry out the downgrade by uninstalling the app and then reinstalling its older build.

However, with system apps, things are a little bit complicated. Since they cannot be directly uninstalled from your device, you’ll have to execute a couple of ADB commands to get this job done. In some cases, you might even have to use ADB Command to install the older version of that app.

All in all, the process is a tad complex, lengthy, and requires the use of a PC. Well, you could now checkmark all these requirements off this list as we’ll show you a nifty method using which you could easily downgrade any system app on your Android device without using ADB Commands. So without further ado, let’s get started.
