Downloading from Unknown Sources

I’m in an app that’s says download new catalog but the catalog is unable to download...on my android device it downloaded right away, but I can’t get it on my iPhone XS MAX...Could it have something to do with downloading from an unknown source? If that is the case, where do I go to change the setting to be able to download from unknown sources? I’ve looked and can’t find the option...

Hi elvenlen,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I see you're having an issue with downloading something for an app, and I'd like to do what I can to help out.


There isn't an option for an iOS device for unknown source, like with macOS.


Was this app originally downloaded from the App Store? If so, make sure that it's updated: Update apps or use automatic downloads


If it wasn't from the app store, and to inquire about how to download the catalog you referred to, contact the app developer:

Take care!
