YouTube hides some of its best mobile features, such as background playback and picture-in-picture, behind its expensive $ 14/month YouTube premium membership. And it is notorious to prevent free apps and workarounds. If you are on Android, you can use the third-party app Neopype To get around these boundaries. But on the garden with walls that is iPhone? Very little you can. Even if you try to play videos using safari, they will stop playing as soon as they lock their screen.
This is why it is a great thing that Vyldi, privacy-centered browser, now supports background playback for YouTube, and many other video sites that clearly block it. If you are using YouTube on the web instead of an app (your feed will still be the same), then you can now enjoy the YouTube premium feature paid for free. Even if you use this feature for podcast episodes or long videos, it can be worth it.
