How to play to YouTube audio in background on iPhone
YouTube Premium offers features like ad-free viewing and background audio for $13.99/month. However, using a simple trick, you can still listen to YouTube audio in the background on your iPhone without a subscription.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Open Safari: Launch Safari on your iPhone and go to YouTube’s website.
- Search for a Video: Find the video whose audio you want to play in the background.
- Request Desktop Website: Tap the left-hand icon in the address bar, then click the three-dot menu in the bottom-right corner. Select “Request Desktop Website” from the popup menu.
- Play the Video: Start playing the video and ignore any prompts to open the YouTube app.
- Lock Your iPhone: Press the Side button to lock your device.
- Resume Playback: On the Lock Screen, tap the Play button in the playback controls widget to continue listening.
Following these steps allows you to enjoy YouTube audio, such as music or podcasts, even when using other apps or with your phone locked—completely free of charge.
This method is a great alternative for those who want background audio without paying for YouTube Premium.
