Alternatively, you can use a full-featured YouTube client called ProTube. These apps allow you to stream unlimited videos without the interruption of advertisements. This is one of the easiest ways to play videos in the background on your iPhone or Android device.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_premium_allows_you_to_play_videos_in_the_background\"><\/span>YouTube premium allows you to play videos in the background<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Playing YouTube videos in the background on iPhone is now possible with YouTube Premium. However, this feature is only available with headphones or external speakers. You can also use the Safari app to open YouTube in desktop mode, which will make your phone think that the video is a regular one. To enable YouTube in the background on your iPhone, simply go to the settings of the YouTube app and tap on Background &amp; Downloads.<\/p>\n<p>This feature isn&#8217;t available for free, but you can try it out for a month at no cost. YouTube will only charge you a small fee after you complete your trial period. This fee is used to verify your payment details, and should be refunded within a few days. Once you&#8217;ve signed up for YouTube Premium, you&#8217;ll have access to the app from any device.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Red_is_the_easiest_and_best_way_to_play_videos_in_the_background_on_Android_devices\"><\/span>YouTube Red is the easiest and best way to play videos in the background on Android devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike the free YouTube app, YouTube Red allows you to play videos in the background. Not only that, but it also allows you to download videos to your device for offline viewing. Playing videos in the background on your device is incredibly convenient for people who aren&#8217;t constantly on the go, such as those who enjoy ASMR videos, live streams, and quick text responses.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to watch YouTube videos in the background, you can also download a third-party app like FlyTube. This app lets you watch YouTube videos while browsing other apps on your device. If you&#8217;re running Android 8.0 or higher, you can also install this app. YouTube Red is one of the best apps available for Android devices. It&#8217;s easy to download and install.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ProTube_is_a_full-featured_YouTube_client\"><\/span>ProTube is a full-featured YouTube client<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>ProTube is a great app for iPhone users looking to watch YouTube videos without having to sign into the web site. It syncs data with your Google account and supports all the latest versions of iOS. While it&#8217;s not available in the Play Store, you can still download it from a third-party website. As far as iOS users go, ProTube is the most attractive and functional YouTube client on the iPhone. Besides seamless sync, ProTube has several other useful features such as the ability to force videos to load in the specified resolution and support for PiP mode.<\/p>\n<p>While the native YouTube app on the iPhone does a good job of letting you watch your videos, it&#8217;s not the most comprehensive or functional. ProTube also supports switching regions and can be used on multiple platforms. It also offers support for recording videos, creating playlists, and watching video histories without having to log in to YouTube. Furthermore, it allows you to download videos, rename them, transfer them to your iPhone, and watch partially downloaded videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Music_Premium_doesnt_allow_you_to_play_videos_in_the_background_on_Android_devices\"><\/span>YouTube Music Premium doesn&#8217;t allow you to play videos in the background on Android devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most music lovers listen to their favorite music on their phones. While using these apps, they would love to be able to play YouTube in the background so they don&#8217;t waste their battery life. Fortunately, YouTube has a solution for this problem: YouTube Premium. This service allows users to continue listening to YouTube videos while using other functions on their phone, such as sending or receiving emails.<\/p>\n<p>When playing YouTube Music, you can also select whether to pause the music automatically after a song ends. If the music stops while you&#8217;re moving between applications, you must select another song. If you&#8217;d rather listen to music without interruption, you can disable YouTube Music Pause in the Control Centre. However, you&#8217;ll need to enable YouTube Music Nonstop if you want to continue listening to your music in the background.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Play YouTube in Background on iPhone If you&#8217;d like to know how to play YouTube in the background on your iPhone, you need to sign up for YouTube Red, the best way to play videos in the background on Android devices.
