There are times when we just want to listen to YouTube without having our phone’s screen light on. Since YouTube is a video platform, this is actually not possible, even if you are only listening to the audio version of a particular song or video with only the cover photo shown on the screen; your phone’s screen light would still be on for YouTube to be active.
Along with music streaming apps like Spotify and Apple, YouTube stands tall as arguably the biggest platform for playing and streaming songs. Like other apps, if you are signed in with your Gmail account on YouTube, you can also create and save playlists for any time you want. If you do this very often, you must have tried to listen to YouTube without having your phone’s screen light still on as it consumes battery quickly.
