Want to play YouTube videos and keep playing in the background on your phone without paying YouTube Premium subscription fees? Unfortunately, the official YouTube application does not allow all owners of iOS or Android systems to do this, but there is a quick solution to do this and it is completely free and you will not need the paid version, so follow us.


Sometimes it is necessary to play videos from YouTube in the background, especially if watching it is not very important, for example listening to the Holy Quran or a sermon or following a scientist. The most important thing is that the video clip does not stop while you open another application such as WhatsApp to respond to a message, or you browse Facebook or the news while listening to something.

In the past, YouTube has been promoting a lot of YouTube Premium for a paid membership and the benefits it enjoys other than the free, ad-supported version. One of the biggest features of this paid membership is the ability to play YouTube videos in the background. But this is a method that with us completely eliminates the paid version and you will be able to play any YouTube clip in the background.
