Google says it has started enforcing its YouTube Premium requirement for background playback on mobile.

Up until recently, users have been able to bypass free YouTube's background play restriction by using YouTube via a browser.

YouTube pulled down over a dozen AI "spam" channels as it looks to protect platform quality and preserve its premium pitch to TV marketers.

Google has officially confirmed it is blocking background video playing on third-party mobile browser apps to non-Premium users.

Google has plugged a known loophole that allowed Android users to access background playback without a Premium subscription.
