Will watching YouTube now stop completely?

No. If you are using the above device, YouTube will not stop completely. You can still watch the video by going to M.Youtube.com through your device’s browser (eg Safari or Chrome). However, this experience will not be as smooth and interactive as the app.

Options in front of users

Users now have three options:

• Buying new iOS 16 supported device
• Access youtube via browser
• Continue to use the YouTube app of the old version (until)

This change is especially important for users who have been using old devices for a long time.
