Looping YouTube Videos on iPhone: A Step-by-Step Guide
Looping YouTube videos on your iPhone can be a handy feature, whether you're learning a new skill, enjoying your favorite music, or need a continuous background video. Here’s how you can achieve this using the latest features and methods.
Using the YouTube App
The most straightforward method to loop a YouTube video on your iPhone involves using the YouTube app itself. This method is simple and does not require any additional apps or complex steps.
- Open the YouTube App: Launch the YouTube app on your iPhone and start playing the video you want to loop.
- Access Video Settings: Tap the screen to bring up the on-screen menu, then tap the "Settings" icon (three dots) at the top of the screen.
- Enable Looping: Tap "Additional Settings" in the menu, and then toggle on "Loop Video." This will make the video play on a loop until you switch to another video.
Creating a Playlist for Looping
If the above method does not work for you, or if you prefer to use playlists, you can create a playlist with just the video you want to loop.
- Open the YouTube App: Launch the YouTube app and find the video you wish to loop.
- Add to Playlist: Tap the "Add to" option below the video and select "Create a new playlist."
- Name the Playlist: Give the playlist a name and choose its privacy settings (Public, Unlisted, or Private), then save the playlist.
- Play the Playlist: Go to the Library icon in the bottom-right corner, select the new playlist, and tap the play button to start the video.
- Enable Looping in Playlist: Once the video starts playing, tap the down arrow next to the playlist name and select the loop icon to repeat the video.
Using the Desktop Site on iPhone (Alternative Method)
While the YouTube app does not support looping via the desktop site on iPhone, you can still use this method if you prefer.
- Open YouTube in Safari: Open the YouTube website in Safari and switch to the desktop site by tapping the three dots at the top right corner and selecting "Desktop site."
- Play the Video: Start playing the video you want to loop.
- Right-Click (Long Press) the Video: Long press the video to open the video menu and select "Loop" from the options. However, this method is less convenient on iPhone due to the lack of native support.
Additional Tips
- Android Users: If you have an Android device, you can use the Chrome browser to access the YouTube desktop site and loop videos more easily.
- Alternative Apps: For more advanced looping features, you can use third-party apps like Loopideo Pro or Loop Video GIF Maker, which offer additional functionalities such as creating looping GIFs.
By following these steps, you can easily loop your favorite YouTube videos on your iPhone, making it convenient to watch them repeatedly without manual intervention.
