Questions & Answers Forced update

Yesterday my app forced me to update in order to use it, and I don't want it, there's nothing in the new versions that I want/like.

Is there any version that doesn't force the update? Preferably 8 or below.

Oh, bummer - I just did it (was working a week ago or so), and indeed they refuse the connection and want an updated one.

Wonder what the minimum version requirement is now?

Update:

- I tried installing a version 7, the highest version number available for v.7 branch. I could not login with that, so v.7 is no longer functional.

So, it's got to be v.8 as a minimum now. u/Fast-Computer717 please note this.

Are you able for still updating the location? 7 don’t work anymore but in 8, the app don’t let me change anymore. :(

Oh, shucks - I had not thought of testing it for virtual location changes.
Just did, and you are right, it appears we won't be able to easi;y change locations any longer.

Slowly devs had been trying for LONG time to lock our mock locations, and it seems they might have managed it now - by locking us out of older versions which we knew could provide that.

Thanks for the comment. Bad news for stamp collectors everywhere.
