i accidentally deleted YouTube on my iPhone 7 and theres no cloud with the arrow and it says that I need iOS 16. You should make it available for old models so it’s fair for everyone who doesn’t have an iPhone 8. I don’t want to buy a new phone. It’s so not fair. Just put iOS 16 on the iPhone 7.
The iPhone 7 doesn't have the hardware needed to run iOS 16.
It's not about being fair, it's about hardware limitations.
Time for a new phone.
You can use the web version of YouTube.

That's correct. YouTube owned by Google, NOT Apple has made the decision to require phones running at least iOS 16. Apple has no control over Google or their YouTube App, so Apple cannot do anything to make the YouTube app run on such an old, out of date iPhone as iPhone 7. There is no way Apple can give you iOS 16 as the phone simply doesn't have the hardware required to support iOS 16. There are no cell manufacturers who are still updating 9 year old cell phones.
You have to accept that while the iPhone 7 was a great iPhone, it's glory days passed long ago. It was released in 2106, 9 years ago. It's an antique in iPhone years and yes, if you want current Apps, you'll need to invest in a new iPhone.
Well, it is YouTube that has decided that they will no longer support older iOS versions like iOS 12 and 15.
This was a decision made by YouTube.....not Apple. Apple changed nothing. YouTube decided to abandon you.
So, tell YouTube that things are not fair, since they made the decision. Use link below to reach them.
Can't reinstall YouTube on iPhone 7
