Owners of some older Apple TVs will soon have to rely on AirPif they want to watch YouTube content on their devices.
Early next month, third-generation Apple TVs will no longer support the YouTube app, a YouTube spokesperson confirmed to Gizmodo. Users with these devices will still be able to watch some YouTube content, but they will have to cast it from another device instead of opening it directly from their set-top box. 9to5Mac earlier reported the loss of support.
“We are always working to make sure our users have the best experience on YouTube, and from time to time we need to make changes to our list of supported devices,” a YouTube spokesperson told Gizmodo in a statement by email. mail. “As of early March, the YouTube app will no longer be available on 3rd generation Apple TV devices.”
The change will not affect newer generations of the Apple TV box. Streamers with an Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD still has native access to the YouTube app, just like iPhone and iPad owners. After the change, Apple TV owners who also have iOS devices can stream YouTube content by casting it via AirPwas on every third-generation Apple TV.
Let’s hope the rumor goes Next generation Apple TV helps cut the cost of some of its newer existing models, so upgrading is slightly cheaper. Otherwise, it’s time to familiarize yourself with AirPlay.
