YouTube is constantly trying to get people who use this video sharing service for free to switch to a premium plan.
This is why the company has decided to remove access to a popular YouTube feature for free users.
According to a report, YouTube is taking steps to remove access to the popular mobile browser background playback feature for free users.
For a long time, YouTube users have been using this feature, which is only available to premium users in Google Chrome.
Free users use other mobile browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Brave or Samsung Internet to play videos in playback.
But now several users have reported that this feature is no longer working for them and Google said in a statement that steps are being taken in this regard.
Some users are still using this feature, but it will gradually become impossible for them to use it.
Following criticism from users, Google issued a statement saying that it is cracking down on the use of this feature on mobile browsers.
According to the company, this feature was designed for YouTube Premium users, but some free users are accessing it through mobile browsers.
We are taking steps to prevent this.
