YouTube has announced that the YouTube Music App will make the background playback for FREE, this feature will be available starting November 3, 2021, in Canada.
Formerly, YouTube Music’s background playback is only available for premium subscribers of the app. This feature allows users to listen to music while using other apps or when your screen is off.
With this feature made available for free, users can now fully listen to music uninterrupted. However, this free version is ad-supported, meaning users will still experience ads while listening.
According to YouTube, the new feature will include a “radio-like” experience. In addition, the company will also release personalized playlists for the users, as well as Google Assistant driving mode.
There is no word yet for the free version to be made available in the Philippines.
