YouTube version 20.22.1 update now requires at least iOS 16 to work, leaving iPhone models that can't upgrade to iOS 16 unable to install YouTube's latest update.
However, unsupported devices can still use the latest version of the YouTube app they have installed. To prevent the app from automatically updating, users can disable automatic updates on their devices. However, it is important to note that over time, the older version may no longer work if Google decides to block it.
Many older iPhones won't be able to use the YouTube app.
Specifically, YouTube version 20.22.1 or later requires iOS 16.0 and iPadOS 16.0. As a result, iPhone models such as the 6s, 6s Plus, 7, and 7 Plus will no longer be able to use the app because they cannot be upgraded to iOS 16. Additionally, the first-generation iPhone SE and the seventh-generation iPod touch are also no longer on the list of compatible devices.
For iPad users, the YouTube app has stopped working on the iPad Air 2 and fourth-generation iPad mini due to lack of support for iPadOS 15. Parents using the iPad Air 2 to let their kids watch YouTube will need to guide their kids to use YouTube via the Safari browser.
If the mobile app is no longer supported on your device, you can still access YouTube through a web browser. While this may not provide the same experience as the native app and some Premium features, using YouTube through a browser can help you avoid ads and save battery life.
Google is still working on improving the YouTube app. It recently introduced a minimalist player and announced that it will integrate Lens into YouTube Shorts, allowing users to search for information about objects, plants, and animals in short videos . It is also testing AI-powered video search features and a YouTube Premium plan for two users, which is great for roommates or couples.
