Q: iOS 10 Required to install Find My Friends App

Hi,

I just tried to install Apple's Find My Friends app on an iPod 4th generation running iOS 6.1 and this the message I received:

I wasn't aware iOS 10 had been released yet. Did I miss a press release?

Thanks

iPod touch, iOS 6.1.6

If this method does not work you are out of luck:
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X

You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

I have an iPod touch 4G, I installed find my friends app with no issues.
It asked me if I wanted to install the last compatible version? I taped yes and, it installed.
You may need to do a hard restart, then try again.
