Google drops YouTube support on outdated Android
Google has announced that support for the YouTube app and its core services will be discontinued on phones running Android 6.0 Marshmallow, starting July 26, 2026. This decision follows the elevation of the minimum supported operating system to Android 7.0 Nougat, with the aim of enhancing security and developing new features. As a result, older devices will face security risks due to the lack of future updates. Users are advised to rely on the browser or upgrade to newer devices to ensure continued service and security. Warning messages are beginning to appear, encouraging users to switch to accessing YouTube via the website through their browsers as an alternative to the discontinued app.
