Xiaomi Discontinues YouTube Background Playback Feature
Xiaomi is removing the feature that allowed users to play YouTube videos in the background without a premium subscription on devices running HyperOS, MIUI 14, MIUI 13, and MIUI 12, affecting models like Xiaomi 14, 13, 13 Pro, and 12T. The decision is attributed to "compliance requirements," hinting at possible involvement by Google. This change means users will need to subscribe to YouTube Premium to enjoy background playback.
