I know you are here to find how to loop youtube videos on android and ios, but let’s address the issue first and then move on to our guide.
When it comes to music streaming, there are a lot of options to choose from. The most popular are Spotify and youtube music out of which my choice is youtube music. Youtube music not only gives you an option to listen to officially released music but also lets you stream music videos. This means that you can play music videos and everything labeled as the music inside the youtube music app.
One aspect where Spotify is ahead is the fact that you can loop music. The youtube website allows you to loop the video you are watching by right-clicking and selecting “loop”. Since there are no similar options on the youtube app, we have found some ways to loop youtube videos on android and iOS. But before we move to the solution, let’s understand why there is no loop option inside youtube.
Why is there no “Loop” option on the Youtube app on Android and iOS?
The simple reason why youtube lacks a loop option on their mobile app on android and iOS is the fact that youtube has only one way to make money on their platform which is via advertising. As we all know youtube doesn’t serve ads on every playback, so looping a video again and again can result in some playbacks monetized and the majority of them being ad-free hence youtube makes less money. And since more than 70% of watch time comes from mobile devices, youtube can’t add a loop button inside the youtube android app.
How to loop Youtube Videos on Android and iOS
There are some workarounds that you can use to loop youtube videos on android and iOS, and here are some of them. Do note that none of these methods are as flawless as pressing a button but they work just fine.
1. Loop Youtube Video on Web Browser
This method turns out to be the most straightforward option for looping music on your smartphone. The trick is to play the YouTube video through the web browser on an Android smartphone. The exact approach, unfortunately, does not work on iOS.
To get started, open a browser and type “m.youtube.com” into the address box. This stops the browser from automatically accessing the YouTube app.
Once the page has loaded, tap on the three vertical dots button in the top right corner, then pick the “Desktop site” checkbox.
Simply go to YouTube and search for a video that interests you. Zoom in on the video spot and long press to bring up the right-click menu.
Then select “Loop” from the drop-down menu. After that, your movies will continue to play continuously until you close the browser.
2. Easy Way to Loop Youtube Video on Android and iOS Youtube App
There is an easy workaround for the YouTube app if you don’t like the mobile browser technique mentioned above.
The secret here is to loop a newly generated playlist after adding a single video to it. It runs smoothly on both Android and iOS devices.
On both Android and iOS, the YouTube method is very similar. As a result, the method below can be used to create and loop a playlist on the iPhone.
Give the playlist a name and that’s it. To play the video, simply hit the play button in the playlist.
The video would begin to play with a playlist of music and a few control buttons. To make a single song loop, tap the loop symbol.
3. Loop Youtube Videos using Looptube.io
Looptube is a simple website that lets you loop your youtube videos over and over on a web browser inside your phone or even your PC or Mac.
To get started, go to Looptube’s official website.
Now open the youtube app on your phone. I am using my android phone here.
Now open any video and tap on the share icon and choose the “copy to clipboard” option. This will copy the video’s link to the clipboard.
Now launch the browser with Looptube opened and paste the video link inside Looptube.
The Web app will now search for the video and play it for you on a loop.
You can choose to play the whole video on loop or even a selected part of it on a loop using the Looptube website.
4. Loop Youtube Videos using 3rd Party Android App
Play store already has many apps that can help you loop youtube videos. We will use one such app called “Repeat Youtube Videos” in this guide.

Inside the share options, you will find an option of “Repeat YT Videos”. Tap on that option and your video will play on a loop inside the repeat YT videos app.
