Banking app

Bella@123 · 10 Aug 2019 at 20:29

Hi there hope someone can help, I've got an iPad 4 and when I tried downloading a banking app it said it wasn't compatible and allowed me to download a previous version. So I did that and spent ages registering and going through all the security checks and at last I have the banking app my son did it years ago but only took me how many years lol and bravery to bank online! That was 2 weeks ago.. now in the app updates it's telling me there's an update but if I click on it it says yet again this version not compatible click to download compatible version. Now if I do that will I have to register with banking again? As this dose t seem to be an update as it's saying download compatible version or would it just download the same version again and have to register banking app again? Thanks as you can tell a bit worried

You won't have to register again. Try logging into the bank using a web browser.

Unless it's a major update to the app, usually you'll just be able to log in again.

I know this is the case when it's an update when all my other apps update but I'm just thinking this is different cos it says download compatible version

I thought that downloading it would replace the already installed app with a new one

And then I'm thinking if I don't do anything is it safe to use a banking app that I haven't updated? Jeez

Yeah I saw that, I'm querying why, the first post smelt of spam, the link went to a dead page, so wanted the OP to explain its existence?

No that's fine, we're just being careful

The same question is on there in the iPad forum if you want to look no spam!

Ah that's ok I was worried there for a minute!
