Why can’t you play YouTube videos in the background?

In most video streaming applications, whenever you exit the screen or go to the Home screen, the video stops playing. Therefore, in order to listen to the video’s audio, you need always to keep the phone unlocked with the YouTube app open on the screen. At times, users receive a text message while listening to a song, and when they tap on the message from the notification, the songs stop playing.
