content:Opening Hook

Ever struggled to rotate a YouTube video without finding the button? Or wanted to listen to music in the background without Premium? You’re not alone. After analyzing this video by Technical Expert Baba, I’ve compiled three practical tricks that will make your YouTube mobile experience smoother. Let’s dive in.

1. Rotate Videos Without the Button

Forget the rotate icon—swipe up on the video to switch to landscape mode, or swipe down to go back to portrait. This trick works on both Android and iOS, and it’s way faster than fumbling for the button. I’ve tested it on multiple devices, and it’s consistently reliable.

2. Play Background Audio for Free

You don’t need Premium to listen to YouTube in the background. Here’s how: Play a video, slide down to minimize the app, open YouTube Shorts, then go back to the original video. It will keep playing audio even when you use other apps like WhatsApp or Instagram. Note: This is a workaround, so it might change with future updates, but it works today.

3. Save Data With Auto-Play Control

To cut down on data usage, go to your YouTube profile → Settings → General → Playback in Background. Turn off auto-play for mobile data. This stops videos from playing automatically when you’re not on Wi-Fi, saving both data and battery. According to YouTube’s official settings, this is a recommended way to manage data consumption.
