Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
When I play a video on YouTube, either through browser or app, if I exit out and pull up Control Center, the title of the video is there in music, but when I press play, it goes blank, and there is no sound. Anyone else having this issue? I'm using an iPhone 6s.
I'm having the same problem. A couple of days ago, YouTube background playback stopped working out of nowhere. I don't know what's wrong with it, but whenever I go to Control Center and hit "play", it just goes blank. I've tried restarting Safari (I prefer the YT layout on Safari over the actual app), and I've tried restarting my iPod completely. Nothing has worked, and if I have to pay for YouTube playback, heads are going to roll.
I have an iPod 6 with iOS 10.2, and I use YouTube through Safari. I updated the iPod when the update came out over a month ago, and I'm just now having this problem.
Somebody help!
Didn't work
- Refresh in desktop mode on Chrome
- For Safari refresh in desktop mode, change tabs then leave Safari. It will play in the background
None of these worked for me, what I did:
1) Open youtube in Chrome
2) Click those 3 dots you see in the top right
3) Choose 'Request Desktop Site'
I hope that helps 🙂
Solution is to use the Desktop Site version instead of the Mobile site. Make sure you Request Desktop site in the browser you're using and it should work outside the app as it usual.
the safari YouTube was not working on the backgr
You aren't listening. He said it wouldn't play on safari. He doesn't use the app. Read the entire post before commenting next time.

Thank you!
no it was always working fine until the recent updates, that's BS i'm not gonna pay for a simple function that used to be free. maybe apple isn't for me
Can't find the option you mentioned above.
Furthermore everything worked fine before the update to 10.3.3 so how do we fix the problem?
Just tried on safari and Firefox with iOS 10.3.3 am still doesn't work. Any help?

My iphone 6s other music app is not playing in the background like MB3 music and YouTube I need help
Its rare now, once in a year. Also no point in that, sooner or later, its going to be patched by Apple.
Youtube won't play in the background on iOS 10.1.1?
