However, there is a trick that you can apply to play YouTube music on your iPhone while the device is locked. There have been many workarounds in the past, but they have been patched. In this article we show you the update one that works in the current iOS 13 and the upcoming iOS 14 in 2020.

Hi everyone and welcome to the iPhoneTricks.org YouTube channel. In this video I'll show you how to play YouTube music in the background on your iPhone, in 2020. So let's dive right into it!
0:13 Selecting Video & Open It
I'll open YouTube and here I am searching for a video that I want to play in the background. Most of the time you'll be aiming for music and I'll suggest you to select a long video, so that you don't have to change the track all the time. Open it.
0:35 Copy YouTube Video Link
Tap the video screen to unveil the video commands. Tap on the 'Share' icon and 'Copy' the link.
0:39 Open Safari & Paste Link
Next, we have to open Safari. Long-press on the address bar and hit 'Paste and Go'. Ok, so we opened the selected video in the Safari browser.
1:00 Request Desktop Version
Next, we have to open the Desktop version of the web page by tapping on the 'aA' icon, here on the left side of the address bar. Tap on 'Request Dekstop Website'. Now, just play the video and return to the Home Screen. Playback stops but that's no problem.
1:17 Play from Control Center or Lock Screen
Swipe for the 'Control Center' and hit the 'Play' button , available in the 'Now Playing' section. Now you can lock your iPhone and you can see that the video keeps playing in the background.
Start your workout, host a garden party while listening to free YouTube music with this cool iPhone trick.
There is one more catch to this trick. Even if you watch via the desktop version of YouTube ads will be served. So, if you listen to the music in the background and the sound stops it means that you reach the section of the video with a mid-roll ad. To solve this, Pause the video and Re-Play it.
