The real killer app here is the ability to play videos in the background as music for your phone. Most of my favorite music isn't available on Spotify/Apple Music/etc, but quite a bit of it is on Youtube.
It'd be interesting if they UI of this got good enough to employ it as a streaming replacement.
- noblethrasher 11y agoPrior to iOS 6, The bundled YouTube app let you play videos in the background, similar to music/audio apps.
- sb8244 11y agoYou can sort of do this today on ios by clicking play on the slide up after it stopping. I never knew it was trying to prevent listening because it works once you hit play.
- randyrand 11y agoThere are also some good jailbreaks for this too
- beeboop 11y agoThere are Android apps that can do this, too. Or at least, there were up until about a year ago. Mine stopped working, perhaps intentionally by Google? Not sure.
