Even though iPhone has iPod for streaming music a lot of users like to use YouTube on their iDevice. It becomes a frustration when your locked iPhone cuts out songs or videos you are playing via YouTube. The same thing happens when you are switching between iOS applications which can be pretty annoying as well. Luckily, you can listen to audio from YouTube on the locked iPhone.
There are a lot of great videos and songs on YouTube. Sometimes you can find interesting interviews and stories on this video channel along with useful workouts and other advice.
Right now there is one hack you can perform in order to stream YouTube audio on a locked iPhone. It is simple yet incredible in its simplicity. Google is believed to add multitask to its popular video service in the future or introduce “Music pass” feature for YouTube fans. But right now this is just an idea that isn’t available so the hack is the good method to solve the problem and get what you want.
You will be surprised at how easy everything is. The solution was found by one user who shared his experience on Reddit. His nickname is Erjobi and here is the method that you can start using from now on till there is another solution from Google.
Step 1: Start playing any YouTube video.
Step 2: You should wait for an advertisement to end. Do not press on the “+” [plus] option. Instead just click on the Share key.
Step 3: You need to click on “Message” now and lock the iPhone.
Step 4: Music or audio will be playing on your locked smartphone.
That’s it. Of course, you can use another method and simply download the free application called Jasmine that allows streaming YouTube audio even if the phone is locked. Decide for yourself how you should act as both ways are simple.
