How to keep YouTube music playing in the background on iPhone

  • On iPhone, most music apps let you play music in the background. After all, they'd be virtually useless if they couldn't. For video apps that's not the case which - again - makes sense, since you can't watch videos with your iPhone locked and the phone in standby.
    With UA-cam, the app is a sort-of two-in-one platform that offers videos and, with that, music videos which is a surprisingly popular way to consume music these days.
    UA-cam does let you use its video app to play music in the background but there's a caveat: you need to be a Premium subscriber in order to take advantage of that feature. Of course, you can use the UA-cam Music app, but again, you need to be a subscriber for that too.
    Thankfully, there's a workaround that enables you to play music from UA-cam videos for free, in the background, and it's really not difficult to do.

    I have Spotify premium but some smaller artists don't have Spotify. its nice to be able to listen to their stuff in the background without having to fork out more money for UA-cam premium

    When doing as you suggest, the video audio plays in the background for a few seconds and then it automatically switches to the music app. Note: the Music app has been shut down and it keeps playing the last song I listened to. Any suggestions?

On the other hand, Android gives picture in picture, split screen, and pop up windows for any app. Using an iPhone for real work is incredibly frustrating. My iPhones are just novelty toys at this point. Never going back from an S23 Ultra.

      After you start playing the video it'll go full screen mode. Tap on the button at the top to bring the window back to it's original state. You should see it pop up after that. No idea why it works but I had the same problem as you and that fixed it.

      Download UA-cam Vanced best app if you have an android it’s basically UA-cam premium. Let’s you close UA-cam and play all the music you want without ads. It’s not in the App Store because google owns it lol so you will have to find it the app on google search and download the apk file from their site. They make the setup easy. I’m not sponsored I just love the app when I owned a android but unfortunately it broke and I finally gave iPhone a try
