If the newest version is slow or crashes on your phone, you can install an older CapCut APK such as 18.6, 16.5, 14.0 or 9.8 — but first uninstall the current app, because Android does not allow installing a lower version over a higher one.

CapCut 9.8.0 APK
Version 9.8.0 is one of the most searched old releases, often called "CapCut Pro version 9.8.0". It is simply an older official build with a lighter interface — it does not include Pro features for free. It can run better on phones with 2–3 GB of RAM, but many new templates and AI tools will not appear. Full details: CapCut 9.8.0 APK guide.
CapCut 14.0 and 14.8 APK
The 14.x releases are popular because of their stable timeline and fast export on mid-range phones. They are a good middle ground if 19.x feels heavy on your device. See the CapCut 14.0 APK guide.
CapCut 16.x and 18.x APK
The 16.x and 18.x builds added more AI tools and templates. If you just need a slightly older version because of a bug in the newest one, choose the latest 18.x release.
