youtube doesnt play in the background anymore

Youtube doesn't allow you to play music in the background, as it could be used as a free music-streaming program (what im aware of)

- Have you always been able to leave the app, and have music in the background? Sounds completely strange to me.

Yes I used to be able to leave the app and then slide up from the bottom of the screen and hit play and still listen to YouTube. I also used to be able to lock my phone and hit play and it would still play but it doesn't do that anymore either.

I highly doubt iOS 10 has anything to do with it. If you're not a Youtube Red subscriber, it never plays in the background on any version of iOS.

Try subscribing to a free trial on Youtube Red, and see if it helps!

Best of luck

Ok I'll try thank you!

If you open YouTube via safari you can %1000 play YouTube content in the background. Have been able to for many years. Since the 10.3.1 update this feature has been removed. I have listened to hundreds of documentaries this way. This better be a mistake because Apple has ****** off thousands of customers

You are wrong.  It sure why this is marked solved when it's wrong

I am glad I am not the only one who is upset about this. I used to listen to music all the time in this way and now I can't. I wish I would have known because I wouldn't have updated my phone if I knew this would happen.

The update to 10.3.1 does seem to have broken the workaround described in the OP.

BUT, the same trick still works in Firefox for iOS :).

Wrong. You must have not seen or tried it because it did indeed used to allow background playback on Safari and from lock screen. No subscription needed.

I'm experiencing the same exact issue. This was never a problem until the recent update, don't let the Apple fanboys fool you.

The current workaround is to put Safari in Private mode, open your YouTube video, then lock the screen, and it should now play once you resume.

Your response is flat out incorrect. You have not and do not need a Red account to play YouTube videos in the background.

I just updated the Youtube app this morning. I'm not sure if this will be consistent but I put the Youtube.com site using Safari on my iPhone 7+ iOS 10.3.1, by scrolling to the bottom of the webpage and selecting Desktop Version.

I also tried doing this by holding the Refresh button on the browser and selecting Request Desktop Site on the pop-up below, but in the end, this didn't work out.

So I activated the desktop website by scrolling to the bottom of the Youtube webpage.

I clicked a video and played it. I pressed the Home Button to exit the Safari app.

I then swiped from below to activate Control Center and then swiped left to view the volume and play buttons. Next of course, I pressed the Play button and audio continued to play in the background. The audio continues to work when I turn off the phone's screen and when turning on the screen to display the lockscreen, you can still press the play button to pause and continue as well.

Will someone else try this to confirm, hopefully with the same parameters ie. iOS version.

I hope this helps anything.

Just install Chrome or Firefox instead of using Safari. That should fix your issue.

You absolutely...100%...totaly...where able to streem youTube in background with locked phone until the last update 10.3.1 and a claming anything else in response is being waste off time for people asking for solution.  I've been Apple user for years but can't deffend them any more, talk premium but act like total $&@#%!!!
