Another app bites the dust on older Apple TVs.
Just last week, Google confirmed that the YouTube app will no longer be supported on third-generation Apple TVs starting in early March. Now, it looks like CBS All Access will also lose support for Apple’s older set-top box, on a message displayed to third-generation Apple TV users and reported by MacRumors. The change will take place at the same time as the launch of CBS All Access Paramount +.
Paramount + will be available on iPhone, iPad and the new Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD boxes on March 4. MacRumors’ message states that users will be able to project Paramount + content from a third-generation iOS TV or connected AirPlay 2 screen at that time – as will YouTube when the service disappears from the device. future. But it doesn’t look like the new service will be natively supported on the old Apple TV.
We have contacted representatives for ViacomCBS for more information about lost support and will update this post if we hear back.
When contacted for comment about the changes last week, a Google spokesman told Gizmodo in a statement that the company “always works to ensure that our users have the best YouTube experience and, from time to time, we need to make changes to our supported devices list. “
Losing support for a small number of applications is not such an important reason to start buying a new device – unless, indeed, really does not support the design process on the mobile device. If so, I can respectfully suggest you replace Apple TV with Chromecast with Google TV? I recently made the switch and I highly recommend it.
