Can I still access ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds even though my device can't install the app?

If you're unable to install the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds app on your phone or tablet, you should still be able to use the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds website at www.bbc.co.uk/sounds.ÌýThe website is supported on devices running Amazon Fire OS 7, Android 7, and iOS 12.4.1Ìýor above.

Hint: You can add a shortcut to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds website from the home screen of your mobile or tablet. Follow these links to the wikiHow website for steps on how to do thisÌý(the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ is not responsible for the content of external sites):


Why can't I install the app?

To install the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds app you’ll need a device which is capable of running Amazon OS 7, Android 7 and iOS 16 or above.

It’s standard practice for updated apps to no longer support older operating systems. This is the case for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ iPlayer, and apps by other companies and organisations.ÌýSupporting operating systems older than this is very costly and does not represent good value for money for licence fee payers, given the relatively small number of users we have still using those older operating systems.
