Just install Chrome or Firefox instead of using Safari. That should fix your issue.
Youtube doesn't allow you to play music in the background, as it could be used as a free music-streaming program (what im aware of)
- Have you always been able to leave the app, and have music in the background? Sounds completely strange to me.
Thank you! It has been driving me crazy that I couldn't listen to my sleep music every night since the update. Thank you and thanks to Firefox!
Installing Firefox works!! Thank you so much!!
This is NOT true. I have always been able to play youtube videos in the background, either on lockscreen or in other apps until I updated my IOS a couple of weeks ago.
It's working in Chrome (private mode only) for now.
YAY private mode works! And keeps working when I switch back to normal mode to keep browsing!
For me only Chrome works. Firefox 7.3 (2772) doesn't.
It does not work with Firefox nor with Puffin
Stopped working with Chrome as well, and there are also Android threads for the same issue. Other video sites are working just fine. It seems youtube site is doing/changing this
Request in desktop view, sleep or return to home. Swipe up for control center and press play and it should work. Works on all browsers.
Hey only way to do it right now, is getting chrome and accessing the YouTube website under the "incognito tab".
Is cause of the new YouTube app.
I downloaded Firefox and it worked at first but it just stopped.
It always played in the background , but now it's not , I didn't need a YouTube red to have it play in the background
I didn't subscribe to anything. I downloaded Firefox and it worked for a couple days but now suddenly it's not. This is really making me mad.
youtube doesnt play in the background anymore
