How can I update the Sounds app if the App Store says it requires a later iOS version?

iOS | Update

If the Sounds app on iOS is asking you to update but the App Store advises that a later version of iOS is required, you can still update to the latest compatible version.

If you tap on ‘Update,’ a prompt will display asking ‘Download an older version of this app?’

Select this to update the app.

Three screenshots from the Sounds app on iOS. The first is advising that the app needs to be updated. The second shows the Sounds app in the App Store with the 'Update' button highlighted, and the third shows an advisory message that iOS 16 or above is required but has a prompt advising that an older version can be installed

We are aware that some users are experiencing an issue where tapping to download the latest compatible version fails to complete and they are continually repromoted to download.

If this happens repeatedly we suggest restarting your device and trying again. If the problem persists, please delete and redownload Sounds. You will still be prompted to download the latest compatible version, but we expect the download to work in this scenario.
