How to Play YouTube Videos in the Background iOS 13

There are several ways to play YouTube in the background on iPhone and iPad. But here, I will show you the best way to play YouTube videos in the background on iPhone and iPad (iOS 13) without installing any web browser and Third-party applications. All you need to tweak the Safari web browser, which is pre-installed and the default web browser for iPhone and iPad. The reason why I chose iOS 13 because most of Apple’s iPhone and iPad are running on iOS 13 or later.
  • Step 1. Open the Safari web browser on the iPhone or iPad.
  • Step 2. Type youtube.com in the address bar.
  • Step 3. Now tap on the AA on the top left-hand corner.
  • Step 4. Select Request Desktop Website to open the desktop version of YouTube.
  • Step 5. Now you’re in the desktop version of YouTube on iPhone or iPad.
  • Step 6. Now search for any video or song that you want to listen to in the background. In my case, I want to list to Justin Bieber’s song.
  • Step 7. After selecting the song, now you have to play it.
  • Step 8. Now return to the iOS Home Screen and exit Safari, either by pressing the Home button or with the Home gesture.
  • Step 9. If the video stops, simply swipe down from the top corner to open the Control Center then tap the play button.
  • Step 10. Even you can play YouTube videos on lock screen as well.
You can also use lock screen controls to pause or resume a video while the device is in lock state. However, when following the above steps, you should bear in mind that this is a workaround; we’ve tried this multiple times on our iOS devices. This works at times and sometimes it does not. Do not lose patience if things don’t grow according to your plans. For two-three times you can keep following the above method and you’ll be successful.

Face ID isn't working with my sunglasses. What do I do?

One of the most common complaints from fresh converts to Face ID is that it “doesn’t work” when you’re wearing sunglasses. Not everyone has this problem—it depends on the sunglasses—but early on I fell prey to it myself while wearing my gargantuan Ray-Ban aviators. Thankfully, there’s a simple setting that makes it a lot easier for Face ID to recognize your mug when you’re sporting your favorite shades (although it comes at the expensive of sacrificing a bit of security). Here’s how you do it.
