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 had his same problem. I am working in IOS 10.X (newest version, don't recall the number) and tried the private browsing to no avail. However, I discovered that if you force YouTube to work in desktop mode through the website's settings (next to the search bar), it works perfectly.
This worked with my iPhone 7!
Got the same phone but not working.
Tuner is a youtube audio only player. It's available in AppStore. It does even support playlists and stuff. I guess you need no visual if you're trying to turn off the screen.
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?
Youtube won't play in the background on iOS 10.1.1?
