Users streaming from YouTube on older Apple TV devices will have to find another way to watch, as devices are losing support for the YouTube app next month. The 3rd generation devices launched in 2012 will soon be no longer compatible with the YouTube app. Instead, you need to use airplay if you want to broadcast on your TV.
This is the message that appears on the screens of users of the 3rd generation of Apple TV:
As of early March, the YouTube app will no longer be available on Apple TV (3rd generation). You can still watch YouTube on Apple TV 4K, Apple TV HD, iPhone or iPad. With AirPlay, you can also stream YouTube from your iOS device directly to any Apple TV (3rd generation or later).
If you’re still using an old model and want to upgrade, now’s the time to do that before YouTube support goes out next month. Fortunately, the latest Apple TV 4K streaming device is on sale for just $ 149.99, compared to $ 169.99 for the 32 GB one.
