YouTube TV and Personal Safety get updates
YouTube TV is finally adding background play to Android and iOS. This means you can listen to your favorite shows even when you’re not actively using the app.
Personal Safety on Android is getting a new feature. You can now extend the duration of your Safety Check without having to stop and restart it.
Here’s a quick summary of both updates:
- YouTube TV Background Play: You can now listen to videos even when the app is minimized or your screen is off.
- Personal Safety Safety Check Extension: You can now extend the time for your Safety Check without having to restart it.
YouTube TV’s background play feature is a long-awaited addition. It’s similar to the feature already available on YouTube Premium. While it’s a simple update, it significantly enhances the user experience for those who like to listen to their favorite shows while doing other things.
The Personal Safety app update is a small but useful improvement. It makes it easier for users to stay safe without having to worry about constantly monitoring their Safety Check timer.
Both updates are rolling out gradually, so it may take a few weeks before everyone has access to them.
