Do you want to enjoy your favorite music on YouTube while your screen is locked, but without having to pay for a premium subscription? In this note we will teach you a technique that will allow you to access the content for free, without restrictions, so that you can enjoy your favorite songs.

It should be noted that this trick is valid for both Android and iOS devices. And basically, it consists of not using the YouTube application, but accessing the website through the browser instead of opening the application.

To achieve this, simply follow these simple steps:

• Open the YouTube app and select the video you want to play.
• At the bottom of the video, tap ‘Share’ and then ‘Copy link’.
• Open the browser of your choice, such as Safari or Google Chrome.
