GarageBand requires iOS 17, my phone doesn’t support it

I have an iPhone X, and the latest available iOS for it is 16.7, which is installed. App Store says GarageBand is compatible with my phone, yet I can’t download it. What should I do?

OMG - u never guess what - I have just managed to sort it. If I tried tapping the cloud Icon on the GarageBand app it wouldnt allow me to download it saying I need ios17. I decided to try doing it from the App store directly, but bugger me, it said I needed IOS17 but then promptly started downloading the app. Have opened it and its all there. I am gong to have one excited 14yr old in the morning.


CheroCzech - thanks so much for your above post. LIFESAVER!!
