YouTube update issue

I cannot update YouTube app on my ipad 2. The latest version of IOS is 9.3.5. The message said I needed to update in order to view. I clicked update, it redirected me to the app at app store, and there's no button to update. I clicked at the open button, it opened youtube but couldn't view and update. How to fix this?


Thank you.

It looks like YouTube changed its minimum iOS requirements on Dec 8, 2018.

If you need the last older version of the YouTube app, try my procedures in the link below.

Heed my advice, in the above link, about switching to a more current, secure and up to date, third party Web browser and STOP using that out of date, over 2-1//2 year old Safari Web browser.


In addition, be advised, the YouTube app is just a shortcut to the main YouTube Website.

You CAN still access YouTube from any Web Browser.



Good Luck to You!
