The YouTube app for iOS and iPadOS has just been updated to version 20.22.1, which requires devices running iOS 16 or later. This means that a series of iPhones and iPads released in the mid-2010s can no longer download YouTube. When accessed via the App Store, the app will display "Requires iOS 16.0 or later".

If the device already has the YouTube app, users can still watch the service for a while, but there will be no new updates.

The list of iOS devices that are no longer compatible with YouTube includes iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and the first-generation iPhone SE.

Additionally, the 7th-generation iPod touch, the last iPod released by Apple since 2019, is stuck on iOS 15 and can no longer watch YouTube. Similarly, the YouTube app on iPadOS stops supporting the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4.

Users of these devices or older can still access YouTube through a web browser at m.youtube.com, but the experience is not as complete as the app designed specifically for the platform.

Additionally, users of devices that have just been discontinued can also choose not to update to the new version of YouTube. The old version will still work until the supplier removes it.

According to Forbes , Apple products are well-built and durable. Therefore, there will be a significant number of devices on the above affected list that are still working, especially iPads. However, the most recently affected iPhone was released 9 years ago and discontinued 6 years ago.
