Totally wrong, You Can Install Facebook and YouTube by Using Apple ID that previously download had FB and YT installed,

Today I Still Use iPhone 5s and Don't Have Any Problem Installing FB, YT, Twitter, Instagram even Tiktok and Capcut


Yes Some Newest Apps Required IOS 13.0 / 14.0 / 15.0 as minimum requirements but in General 12.5.7 still usable.

If you ever had Facebook or Instagram installed, then most likely it's on your list of purchases. When you head to the Facebook's lodge on the App Store you tap the download icon (the cloud with the down-pointing arrow). Since the minimum supported version is higher then you may be offered to download the last compatible version for your device. The most recent version for iOS 12.5.7 is still working as expected. I'm claiming that with confidence since I upgraded from iOS 12.4 to iOS 15.8 four days ago.

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.

Apple and Facebook authority can make an app for older IOS Version. which already provided in android version as Facebook lite youtube lite etc. at this time ip5-6 users try to app by log in another Apple ID. I think it is Very risky for users. when I phone launch a Model they think Users Security. but after some years stop their all support and users go Log in another cloud or third party something could be. and fallen various types of risk. its means after some years apple dont think about their security? i think this monopoly can destry any type of Giant company. there various types of real example available in various country. so apple needs to take a step to solve this problem

Apple doesn't make the Facebook app. Meta (Facebook) does.


You are free to go and ask Meta to (re-)release a Facebook app for older versions of iOS – if you can find a way to contact them. I doubt if they will oblige, but they are the ones you need to convince if you want it to happen.

You may want to download the FaceBook app.


But if you are using an outdated iPhone or iPad for which iOS 12.5.7 is the end of the line, you will not be downloading the current FaceBook app on that iPhone or iPad. If you have one of those iPhones or iPads, your device is incapable of running the current FaceBook app.


That was already explained earlier in this thread.
