Some of you may know, YouTube videos don’t play in the background of an app or tab on iPad and iPhone. There is a workaround to this in iOS 6.1 by switching tabs/apps, pressing the power button, power button again, lock screen controls, play, success. But this is lengthy.

It’s unclear whether this is a deliberate change in iOS 6.1 or simply a bug that may be resolved in a future …
