If your iPhone 6 is running on iOS 12.5.7, it may not be able to download and install certain apps that require a higher version of iOS. Unfortunately, there may not be a solution for this, as Apple has discontinued support for the iPhone 6 and newer versions of iOS are not compatible with it.

However, here are a few things you could try:

  1. Clear the App Store cache: Sometimes clearing the App Store cache can help resolve issues with downloading apps. To do this, go to the App Store, tap on your profile picture, scroll down and tap on "Clear Cache".
  2. Try downloading the app from a different source: If you're not able to download an app from the App Store, you could try downloading it from a different source, such as the app's official website or a third-party app store. However, be cautious when downloading apps from third-party sources, as they may not be safe or secure.
  3. Contact the app developer: If you're having trouble downloading a specific app, you could try contacting the app developer to see if they have any suggestions or workarounds.

Ultimately, if your iPhone 6 is unable to download the apps you need, you may need to consider upgrading to a newer device that supports the latest version of iOS.
