- YouTube TV on Android and iOS now has background play.
- Background play allows users to continue listening even after locking their device or leaving the app.
- The feature was previously a YouTube Premium exclusive.
If you’re a YouTube Premium subscriber, then you’re probably familiar with the background play feature. It allows you to continue listening to a video even after you lock your device or navigate away from the app. Now that fan favorite feature is making its way to the YouTube TV app.
Previously, background play was a feature that you could only use on YouTube as a Premium subscriber. Since you also pay for YouTube TV, you would think the feature would be on there as well. But that wasn’t the case until now.
