YouTube won't play in 1080P 60fps on the Note 7

Talked to Verizon and told them that only Verizon note 7 is having this issue. Works fine on my wife's S7 Edge but not on the Note 7. Told tech the 60fps is working on note 7 for the other carriers and the problem is with the Verizon version. They said that Samsung needs to do an update. I said you mean Samsung removed this from only the Verizon note 7? She could not answer that question.
So the problem is with Samsung or Google but of course not with Verizon.
If Verizon would just leave the darn phone alone we would not have these types of problems. I am convinced that has something to do with a feature they removed or crippled.

Well I side loaded youtube from my zte Zmax pro which does do 1080p 60 fps and it didn't work either... So it isn't an app issue

From what I am reading it is a YouTube issue in that google/YouTube has "register" the phone as capable. So it looks like they did that for the other versions of the Note 7 but not the Verizon version.

Which makes sense... There is probably a model check... And only the qualifying ones will have the option

I have tried the same videos on other android devices, and they'll play at 60 fps. But, no... Not the Note 7. I have tried uninstalling updates for YouTube, rebooting and reinstalling and then trying updating, but nothing works
