Step 2: Then, search for your chosen video. Step 1: First, navigate to YouTube from your browser of choice. Here’s how you can get this method to work.
Firefox and Opera Touch are two browsers that definitely work with this method, and we recommend testing out any other iOS browsers you prefer. While shutting off the screen and continuing to listen to YouTube is a no-no in Safari and Chrome, it’s possible to use Apple’s Control Center with certain other browsers to bypass YouTube’s restrictions.

YouTube’s app is available for both Android and iOS. YouTube Premium will cost you $12 a month or $18 for a family subscription for up to six members - but you can get a one-month free trial. What is the catch? As you might expect, it’s money. YouTube Premium also comes with ad-free access to YouTube Music (the replacement of Google Play Music) and it gives you the option to shut off the screen in that app, too. There are no steps to turning this on as it's on by default, so as long as you have YouTube Premium, it should work just fine. But crucially for our purposes, it also allows you to continue listening after shutting off your phone’s screen or navigating to a different app.
YouTube Premium is a subscription service that gets rid of ads on desktop and mobile, opens access to exclusive videos, and allows for the downloading of videos.
