YouTube is a huge platform known for its variety of content. It is a repository of various types of courses such as educator tutorials, study material, lifestyle, digital marketing, content marketing, spirituality, entertainment, movies, web series, website management, data security, cyber security, data management, songs, etc.

iPhone is known for its brand and version. To make its compatibility with the latest version 20.22.1 of iPhone, YouTube app is setting the supporting application of iOS 16 or later version so that application support and working quality can be given to the latest version of iOS. 

This will have a direct impact on old iPhones and iPads, they will lose the support and working quality of YouTube. For this, the user can use it on YouTube's website through a mobile browser, but will be deprived of easy navigation, streaming quality, watching quality through YouTube's application. 

Developers are connecting new advanced software with the application.  A big broadcast and messaging application like WhatsApp has also taken a big step and ended WhatsApp support for many smartphones launched before 2014 like Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, HTC One. Actually these devices are limited to Android version 5.0. 

These versions cannot be updated, so they will not be able to provide compatibility to WhatsApp and hence WhatsApp will not be able to support phones of these versions. Keeping in mind the limited hardware updates, security issues, complexities for developers, to enhance user experience and performance, Apple has officially declared iPhone 6 obsolete.

Actually, old versions of Apple devices whose parts are not available are declared obsolete during their repair and lack of parts inside Apple centers and service centers.

New upgrades and new versions are released because these steps are taken to enhance the security standards and user convenience.

Jailbreaking is a process in which external unsecured applications are downloaded but this may cause many problems in the version like security issues, warranty threats, reduction in work quality, battery drainage, etc. So don’t use third party applications or jailbreaking options.

The latest version is helping in security features, warranty upgrades, improved work quality, better user experience, performance, etc. 

YouTube application will not work on older versions of iPhone like iPhone6, iPhone6 ​​Plus or any other version that is declared obsolete as it is not compatible with YouTube. 

YouTube is now working to support and feature the latest version and provide compatibility. YouTube will not support older versions of phones like iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone SE (1st generation), iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 4, 7th generation iPod Touch, etc.
