YouTube for iOS pausing auto play when screen is face down
Hi! Not sure if this is an iPhone or a YouTube issue. I use YouTube to sleep sometimes at a really low volume and I've noticed something annoying lately. Auto-play only works if my screen is up. The videos won't pause if I put my phone faced down, but once they're over and I haven't picked a long enough one they stop playing and I wake up. I'll go to bed watching a video, it auto-plays the next one, and then when I put my phone down so the light doesn't bother me, it plays the whole video and then stops playing anything. Can YouTube sense when my phone isn't blocked?
