Rolling back on iOS: what we know so far

iOS doesn't have the same rollback coverage as Android and the RTK station yet. Here's the honest state of what's confirmed.

What to do next

  1. Work out whether it is the phone app or the mower's body firmware that changed: body firmware has no manual downgrade path on any platform, iOS included.

    Applies when: something broke after an update and you are holding an iPhone.

    Worked if: you know whether an app rollback is even the right question on your phone.

    Didn't work? Next: step 2 — No working iOS path is confirmed. If you try one (an older build...

    Method: the Android guide's breakdown, which applies regardless of phone platform

  2. No working iOS path is confirmed. If you try one (an older build through TestFlight, an archived IPA, a device-level restore), tell us what happened either way, because a confirmed 'there is none' is as useful as a working method.

    More about this step

    Applies when: you cannot wait for a fixed release, or you have already tried something.

    Worked if: the gap closes with evidence instead of another guess from us.

    Method: this page's own callout

Phone app — not the robot. See our app vs. firmware vs. RTK guide if you're not sure which one you're dealing with.

This page is thinner than the others on purpose. Android app rollback (via APK archives) and the RTK reference station's official tool are covered in detail elsewhere on this site; no equivalent path for iOS is confirmed yet. Rather than guess, this page flags the gap.

What we actually know

Same underlying situation as Android: two different things can need "rolling back": the companion app on your phone, and the mower's own body firmware. They're not the same problem. See the Android guide for the fuller breakdown of that distinction, which applies regardless of phone platform.

For mower body firmware specifically, there's no confirmed manual downgrade path on any platform (Android included). It's OTA-only, and that part of the picture doesn't change based on which phone you use.

What's unknown

No one has confirmed a working way to install an older version of the iOS app specifically. iOS's sideloading options are more restrictive than Android's, so an APK-archive-style approach doesn't directly translate. This needs someone to actually try it and report back, not another guess from us. A Mammotion staff account said in August 2026 that iOS owners "still can't get the previous APP"1, which fits: the company names the missing iOS route itself as one reason it does not offer old firmware as a choice.

If you've found a working iOS-specific path, or confirmed there isn't one, let us know. This is one of the most useful gaps someone could help close.
