You don't, sorry.

Minimum requirements:

YouTube = iOS 14 or later version

Facebook= iOS 13.4 or later version

Most likely, your unidentified iPhone model cannot supports iOS version more recent than 12.5.7, because of hardware (CPU/RAM) incompatibility.

No, you're not going to install Facebook on an iPhone running iOS 12. If you want Facebook, you need an iPhone which can run iOS 13.4 at a minimum, which an iPhone 6 can't run. Buy a newer iPhone is your ONLY solution.


Someone might have installed an old version of the Facebook app on an iPhone running iOS 12.5.7 – back when the version of the FaceBook app available on the App Store supported iOS 12.5.7 (if it ever did). Whether an old version of the FaceBook app would work with the current FaceBook service is something that I don't know. Maybe, maybe not.


That wouldn't be of any help to someone trying to install the FaceBook app on an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus for the first time, now. As you note, the version of the FaceBook app that Meta offers now is incompatible with their phone.


It's amazing that people still don't seem to get this, this far into the thread.

You can't. Your phone is too old and cannot run the minimum required iOS version to support Facebook. You should be able to use the built in mail app for yahoo mail however. If you want the Yahoo Mail App, you can't install that either, as again, your iPhone is simply too old too support it.


It is time to buy a newer, more modern iPhone at this point if these apps are important to you.

An automated translator couldn't make heads or tails out of that … so I'm guessing that you're asking how to run the Instagram and Facebook apps on a phone that can't run a version of iOS recent enough to meet their current requirements.


The answer is that you don't. If versions of the app that are compatible with your phone are no longer available, you do without, or get another phone.


As a workaround, you could try accessing these services using their Web interfaces, and Safari.

Y not install YouTube on Facebook why come update iPad Ari 12.5.7

Read the thread. It's been explained several times. Simply said however, neither YouTube or Facebook have chosen to continue to support their apps on such old devices, which cannot be updated beyond 12.5.7. They are after all, nearly 10 year old devices, which are too old to be updated.
