In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Peace and blessings be upon the noblest of Messengers.
Peace be upon you, my beloved friends in Allah. In this new lesson on the Hasoubak blog, I will share a really amazing and useful trick to play YouTube videos in the background on your phone without needing any additional apps.
Usually, we rely on third-party apps to play YouTube in the background while using our phones for other tasks, because the official YouTube app doesn’t allow this feature directly.
However, there is a simple and clever trick that many people don’t know. It allows you to listen to YouTube videos while navigating your phone or exiting the app.
The idea is based on using hands-free headphones:
-
Play any video on YouTube.
-
Connect your hands-free headphones and start the video.
-
When you exit to the home screen or open another app, you won’t hear anything because YouTube stops the audio automatically.
But here’s the trick: after exiting YouTube, press the play/pause control button on your hands-free headphones. This will resume the YouTube audio in the background, allowing you to listen to it while using your phone for anything else.
