Android's app installation system does not allow users to downgrade to an older version of an app when they already have a newer version installed. Let Me Downgrade is an Xposed module for Android 12 through 15 QPR 1 that enables users to bypass this restriction. As an added bonus, Let Me Downgrade provides a Quick Settings tile to easily enable and disable the downgrade block.

⚠️ WARNING: Let Me Downgrade is intended for rooted devices running Android 12 through 15 QPR 1 and requires Xposed. The required Xposed variant to use is LSPosed. Other Xposed variants will not work. Additionally, this module cannot be guaranteed to work on all devices. In the worst case, it can cause a bootloop. Use at your own risk.

To use Let Me Downgrade:

Install LSposed. This requires your device to be rooted with Magisk or KernelSU. Installation instructions for LSPosed are available here.
Install Let Me Downgrade.
Activate the Let Me Downgrade module in the LSposed user interface.
Reboot your device and sign in.
Open the quick settings panel. The Let Me Downgrade tile will appear.
Toggle the Let Me Downgrade tile on or off to enable or disable it.

WhatsNew:

This release adds support for Android 15 QPR1 as well as in-app instructions for how to use the module after it has been enabled through LSPosed. For a full list of the changes in this release, please see the release notes on GitHub.

Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos. For details on this, please see here.

Download Source Issues ChangeLog

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
