How to stream YouTube audio on a locked IPhone

If you lock your iPhone or switch apps while
playing a video, both the audio and video
cut out immediately. It's a huge annoyance
if you're one of the many people who uses
YouTube for music, listening to long interviews, or even guided workouts.

According to some reports, Google might be
adding the option to multitask while streaming audio. Other reports suggest YouTube is launching a dedicated "Music Pass" subscription service.

Until then, there's an easy hack that'll let
you listen to just the audio of a video while
your phone is locked, thanks to Reddit user
Erjobi.
•• The workaround:

Play a video, wait for the ad to finish, then tap the share button (not the plus sign). Tap "Message," lock your phone, and the audio will continue playing.

Another option is to use Jasmine, a free YouTube app for iOS . In Jasmine, play a
video, then, lock your phone and click the
home button. You should see audio controls
at the top of the lock screen. Tap play, and
the audio will stream.

If the reports are true, audio-only
multitasking could come to the YouTube app
soon. Until then, these workarounds should
hold you over.
