If your smartphone isn’t on the list, it probably doesn’t have support for one or more of the above. Is your phone on the list of YouTube Signature Devices?
I want to believe YouTube knows every device in the world today. Can’t find iPhone on this list.
Apple’s devices are missing from the list due to the fact that iOS handsets don’t support Google’s VP9 video codec.

I am doing business toner refill, toner cartridges & many other things like that & I want to open website where I can display all what am selling, so that people & my customers can view my product.

All the phone listed above are Android Phones, what about Iphone , iphone did not make the list ?
iOS handsets don’t support Google’s VP9 video codec, thats why they are missing from the list
