Question

How do I install the wikiHow Android app on an older Android tablet?

R2_d2000

Top Answerer

The wikiHow Android app requires you to have at least Android 4.0 or up. First, check your tablets Android version . If you do not have Android 4.0 or later, then try to update it ; if you cannot update your tablet, then that means that it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. At this point, you can try to root it , but this is not recommended since it can slow down your tablet or break it. At this point, the best way to get wikiHow on your tablet is to go to the mobile site through your browser.

Question

It now shows "wikiHow: how to do anything" not " the how to manual," is this still the official app or not?

Community Answer

Yes, it is the official app. If you look at the search bar on top of the desktop site it says "wikiHow to do anything."
