- charcircuit 5y agoYou do not need to frequently update the app to use youtube. For example with Vanced you may be using a several month old (modded) version of the app. >do they ever break compatibility? Yes, but I can't seem to easily find data on how often they do. I assume the "Currently installed versions will work just fine, until they become outdated in 2 years or so." is referring to how long they expect Google to keep compatibility with the latest version they used.
