Owners of older Apple TVs will soon have to rely on AirPdetermine if they want to watch YouTube content on their devices.
Starting next month, third-generation Apple TVs will no longer support the YouTube app, a YouTube spokesman confirmed to Gizmodo. Users with these devices will still be able to view certain YouTube content, but will have to throw it from another device instead of accessing it directly from the set-top box. 9to5Mac earlier reported loss of support.
“We are always working to ensure that our users have the best YouTube experience, and from time to time we need to change our list of supported devices,” a YouTube spokesman told Gizmodo in a statement via e-mail. mail. “Starting in early March, the YouTube app will no longer be available on third-generation Apple TV devices.”
The change does not affect the newer generations of the Apple TV box. Streamers with an Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD will still be able to access the YouTube app natively, as will iPhone and iPad owners. After the change, Apple TV owners who also have iOS devices will be able to stream YouTube content by streaming it via AirPis based on any third generation Apple TV.
Let’s hope the rumors next generation Apple TV helps reduce the cost of some of the newest existing models, so upgrading is a little cheaper. Otherwise, it’s time to feel comfortable with AirPstretch.
