- On your iPhone 8, open the App Store → tap your profile picture → Purchased.
- Search for Japanese!! Learn Kana & Kanji. Tap the cloud icon.
- iOS asks: "This app requires iOS 17. Download last compatible version?" — tap Download.
✅ This works for most major apps as long as you've previously installed them with this Apple ID. The older version connects to the same servers — your account and content remain accessible.
