The full official history holds 59 releases in total. The list above shows the main versions that people still search for today, from 2025 back to 2022.
Reading this list is simple. The newest version is always at the top. The build number is the small number with the letter r, and it grows with every new release. So a bigger build number always means a newer file. The file name in each line is the exact name of the real APK file, so you can check that you have the right one.
For most people, the latest version is the right answer. Still, there are a few honest reasons to pick an older build. Here are the three most common ones.
Some apps that work with Shizuku were made for one exact version. If such an app asks for an older Shizuku, this list helps you find the right one fast.
On some old phones, an earlier version simply runs better. If the latest version gives you trouble, you can test an older one and see if it works better for you.
People who build apps often need one exact version to test their work. A full version history makes that job easy.
If none of these reasons fit you, stay with the latest version. It is the best choice for almost everyone.
Not sure which one to take? Use this simple guide. It matches the version to the Android version on your phone.
| Android 15 or Android 16 | Take v13.6.0, the latest version. It is the right pick for the newest phones. |
| Android 14 | Take v13.6.0, or v13.5.4. Please note that v13.3.0 came out in April 2023, before Android 14 was even released. So it is not the right pick for an Android 14 phone. |
| Android 12 or Android 13 | Take the latest version, or any v13.5.x version. They all work well on these phones. |
| Android 10 or Android 11 | Try the latest version first. If it gives you trouble, step back to v13.3.0. |
| A guide names one exact version | Take that exact version. Download it only from an official source, so you know the file is real. |
Do you not know which Android version your phone has? Open Settings and tap About phone. Your Android version is written right there. Then come back to this guide and pick your Shizuku version.
When you feel confused, the rule is simple. The newest version is almost always the best answer.
Installing an old version is easy. Just follow these four steps in order, and do not skip the first one.
Android does not allow an older version to be installed over a newer one. Go to Settings, open Apps, find Shizuku, and uninstall it. Do not worry — this will not harm your phone.
Find the version you picked from the list above. Download the APK file, and check that its file name matches the name in our list.
Open your Downloads folder and tap the file. If your phone asks, allow the install from your browser or file manager for this one time. Then wait until the install is finished.
Open Shizuku and start the service one more time. You can use Wireless debugging, ADB from a computer, or root. After that, give your apps permission again when they ask.
That is all. Your old version of Shizuku is now ready to use.
If the install does not start, do not search for the file on other websites. Go back to the official source and download the file one more time. A fresh file from the official page solves most problems.
An old version downloaded from an official source is the real app. It is made by RikkaApps, the team behind Shizuku. Shizuku is free and open source, so anyone can check how it works.
Open source also helps you stay safe. The code of Shizuku is open, so people all over the world can read it and check it. A changed copy from a random site does not give you that safety.
But please remember one thing. Old versions can have old bugs, and those bugs were fixed in later versions. That is why the latest version is the safest choice for daily use.
Never download old versions from random websites. Some sites offer changed or fake Shizuku files, and those files can be bad for your phone. Some sites even list version numbers and dates that are wrong — in some cases, versions that never existed at all.
Stay safe with these three simple rules:
The safe way is to use only official sources of the RikkaApps project. Every release is listed in the official release records with its APK file — 59 releases in total, going back years. Do not use unknown sites that offer changed Shizuku files.
No, you cannot. Android does not allow an older version to be installed over a newer one. First uninstall the Shizuku app on your phone. Then install the older APK file. After that, open Shizuku and start the service again.
Use the latest version, v13.6.0. Version v13.5.4 is also a good pick. Some old guides name v13.3.0 for Android 14, but that version came out in April 2023. Android 14 was not even released at that time, so the newest version is the better and safer choice.
Yes, if the file comes from an official source. Then it is the real app by RikkaApps. But an old version may have bugs that were fixed later. For daily use on your main phone, the latest version is the safer choice.
Shizuku works on Android 7.0 and above. If your phone runs Android 7.0 or a newer version, the versions in this list can run on it. For the best result, pick your version with the simple guide on this page. Newer phones should always take the newest version.
Old versions of Shizuku are useful in a few clear cases. A companion app may need one exact version. An old phone may run better on an earlier build. A developer may need one version for a test.
For everyone else, the answer stays the same. Take the latest version, v13.6.0, from an official source. And whatever version you pick, download it only from an official source. That one habit will keep your phone safe.
For almost everyone, the latest version is the best answer. Get v13.6.0 with our simple step-by-step guide.
