I'm guessing that your iPhone is a 5s, 6, or 6 Plus that can't update any further than the latest release of iOS 12 – iOS 12.5.7.


Many apps now require later versions of iOS that the iPhone 5s, 6, 6 Plus (and earlier models) can't run. Although you could try to contact the app developers, and request that they release versions of their apps which will run on iOS 12.5.7, I suspect that they will refuse to do so.


More likely, if you want or need to run these apps, you will need to get a newer iPhone.
