Once iOS 13 arrives, am I still able to get the app updates on my apps on my iOS 12 iPhone?

I have an Apple device and sadly... iOS 12 is going to be its last iOS update. Once iOS 13 arrives, am I still able to get the app updates to get the new features on my apps such as YouTube, Snapchat, Instagram, etc?

That is 100% under control of the app developer or distributor. Most app developers will maintain compatibility back at least a couple of generations. I'm reasonably sure that the apps you have mentioned specifically will, as they currently support iOS 10 or later.
