YouTube App requires "update or exit it"

Hello!


On my old iPad mini (iOS 9.3.5) I only watch YT but recently the app has collapsed. It now requires "update or exit it" almost every 10 mins. I turned off all updates, restored the app from "purchased" however it is still asking for updates.

Is there a way to fix it? I just want to watch my stupid YT videos, nothing more.


cheers!

Hi TolikTheCat,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today. It sounds like you have an older iPad which can no longer be updated and can no longer use the YouTube app.


The YouTube app will require iOS 11 or later to function.


Have you tried visiting YouTube.com through Safari?


Have a fantastic day!
