YouTube for Android and iOS now supports 60fps video

YouTube today announced videos can now be viewed at 60 frames per second (fps) on Android and iOS. This change is being made server-side, meaning you don’t need to update your app to see the higher-quality videos.

On October 29, YouTube quietly turned on 60fps support for videos uploaded on that date and later, but only on the desktop site, which requires using YouTube’s HTML5 player. Clips uploaded before that date remain at 30fps, while new videos shot at 60fps play back at their proper frame rate.
