Listening to music online is already common, for example, although in principle YouTube is a video platform, 82% of its users access to listen to songs, according to the Music Consumer Insight Report 2016.Having a reservation of new music always available and updated playlist without having to download everything, can be very convenient, especially for those who do not have much space on their mobile .

The times in which we had to get up to put a disc, read a book on the sofa and then go and answer the phone in the other room are far away.Now everything is available on the same object, our beloved (and hated) ) smartphone , which, of course, is also the most used device to access YouTube.
YouTube is 'very yours'
However, if there is an application that requires exclusivity of use, this is precisely 'the Tube'.It cannot be used in the background while doing other things with the mobile , unless one YouTube Red, the paid version of YouTube that eliminates all advertising and grants access to exclusive content, is not paid.
In fact, when we open the YouTube application or use its web version, we are forced to remain on the page so as not to interrupt the song that is being played, without the possibility of listening to it while doing something else, such as chatting on WhatsApp or control Facebook.
IOS users
However, there are some solutions.In the App Store you can find a free application called Dolphin , a normal browser, which, among other things, allows to listen to music from YouTube in background on an iPhone , without having to perform a jailbreak (that is, without unlocking the iOS device, for example with a Cydia package with which it is possible to use YouTube in the background without problems).
This is what you have to do with Dolphin:
1.Download the free application Dolphin Web Browser.2.Browse on YouTube, choose the songs you want to listen to and start playback.3.Exit the application and let the playback end automatically.4.Open the IOS control center and re-enable playback with the "Play" button.
For Android
Users of Android can take advantage of Telegram , which supports the playback of YouTube videos directly, without having to open another application.Telegram is put in the background, the audio is not interrupted.With this trick it is possible to choose directly from the messaging application any song and listen to it while visiting other pages.That yes, this Telegram trick does not work with the iPhone.
With Android you can take advantage of the same Dolphin ploy for iOS, but using directly Chrome .In this case, you must access YouTube from the browser, click on the menu icon (all three points) and select «Request desktop website».Find the video you want and give it to play.Finally, you have to accept YouTube notifications and resume playback of the song directly from the notification menu.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 or V30 owners of LG, among others, can also take advantage of the "multitasking" option, which divides the screen in two, a comfortable solution, even if it is not the same as play YouTube on background .
The best apps
Finally, there are some third-party applications for Android that allow to listen to YouTube music while we do other things with the mobile , including: AudioPocket, TurboTube, Background Tube, OGYouTub or NewPipe.They can be found in the Play Store because they violate YouTube’s terms of use, but are available in a Alternative store such as F-Droid or on your own website.
YouTube is still the largest diffuser of music content, but it is true that, unless you search for exclusive content, perhaps the easiest solution is to activate the random playback function of any other music service in streaming .Or get up and put a disc.
