How to play YouTube video while screen is off on iOS
In your iOS devices — iPhone and iPad, there should be pre-installed with the built-in browser, Safari. Find and open Safari. Then go to YouTube website. Make sure to open YouTube website within Safari browser and not YouTube app.
On YouTube website, search for the video you want to listen and play the video. Once the video started playing, turn off your device screen. The video will stop playing and this is the different between Safari and Firefox app for Android features.
Now, press Home button to display Control Center. In the Control Center, you will see options to play the video and to control the sound volume. To continue playing and listening to the video, click Play. When the audio started playing, turn off the screen and the audio will continue playing while the screen is off.
Now you can sit back, relax and close your eyes while listening to the YouTube video. Usually, I like to listen to TED talk and lecture videos from YouTube while driving. I create a YouTube playlist and set them to auto-play.
