Youtube quality capped at 1080p on my iphone 11 pro

When are apple going to fix or change the maximum quality of youtube videos to the actual maximum resolution these displays can go upto , that is 1440p instead of locking it to 1080p. All the other android phones do this, why is apple lagging behind. Are there any workarounds for this issue? If so, please let me know.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

Unstable screen refresh rate. After I updated my software to iPadOS 16.2 My iPad Pro screen refresh rate became unstable. Especially when I play games. After logging in and entering the game, for a few seconds, like 2-5 seconds, my iPad Pro refresh rate become limited to 60Hz, which the note (it is rhythm game) came very sluggish and not smooth, like it was lagging. I tried on other rhythm games too, and it was the same result. If I record my gameplay, the playback at gallery is normal like nothing wrong. I have tried to restart, reduce motion, turning off the background refresh app, and detach any accecories, but unfortunately, all have the same result. I wonder, is M1 can really this problematic? Or it is just other else.

YouTube is not an Apple Product. Contact the app developer here --> App Support
