Could you check if you've enabled background play in your app settings: https://goo.gl/fhXXDg ? If you have, check if there are any pending updates available for the YouTube app. Keep us posted.
@TeamYouTube do you guys help with the app? I'm paying for YouTube Premium and my android phone syncs my "watch later" playlist as I add to it/lock it (perfect!). But my iPad pauses every downloaded whenever it's locked. How do I change this? It's really annoying & drains battery

Background play was already set to "always on", YouTube background refresh is enabled and the app is up to date. Just to clarify my issue isn't with videos playing, it's if I'm downloading something to watch offline later, if I lock the ipad, lock screen says "downloads paused".
