The ephemerality of iOS applications is the biggest tragedy in software preservation history. So many memories, so much software history, locked away forever on some Apple internal archive server.



I think world might have transitioned past that. Snapchat, Instagram stories all hinge on fact shit moves on. I'd say Slack's best feature on free plan is the fact there isn't way to search all history (potentially wasting you time and giving incorrect outdated information).


Most people never saved most things. You can save things from Snapchat. Instagram didn't obsolete mementos and history.


Whatever happened to oldversion.com?


What do you mean? It has Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android apps.


I guess it would be nice if they had iOS apps too. Probably various technical/legal reasons though.
