Chitwan. YouTube is going to provide the feature of listening to songs even when the screen of the mobile is off or doing other work on the mobile. The first phase will be tested in Canada from November 3. This will put an end to the hassle of not being able to do other work on mobile while listening to YouTube music.
Currently, while listening to YouTube music, you have to turn off YouTube when you have to run another app. The company has taken this step with the objective of solving the same problem. With the new feature, YouTube music will continue to play even when the screen of the mobile is closed.
Background YouTube Music will support standard ads, personalized radio mixes, and content uploaded to your YouTube account. This feature is said to be available to users without a premium subscription.
Previously, you had to take a YouTube premium subscription for all the new features coming to YouTube Music. But the background YouTube music is mentioned to be available to all users.
This feature is expected to be available soon to users in countries other than Canada. Along with the background music feature, YouTube music is seen as a challenge for all companies like Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Tidal.
