So you Accidentally Paused Your YouTube Premium? Don't Panic, We've All Been There (Probably Watching Cat Videos)
Let's be honest, YouTube is basically a second life these days. You zone out to cooking tutorials, get sucked into makeup transformation rabbit holes, and maybe cry-laugh a little too hard at compilations of toddlers falling over. But then disaster strikes! You realize you can't play that next video in the background because... you accidentally paused your YouTube Premium.
Don't worry, friend, we've all been there. Maybe you were hypnotized by a particularly fluffy kitten, or perhaps you just spaced out (because, let's face it, some explainer videos are drier than a day-old pop tart). But fear not, because getting your sweet, sweet ad-free viewing back is easier than saying "unsubscribe" (which we definitely don't recommend).

| How To Resume Youtube Premium On Iphone |
Reprogramming Your Phone (Just Kidding, It's Super Simple)
Here's how to get your YouTube Premium flowing like a never-ending stream of cat memes:
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
- Grab your iPhone and open the YouTube app. Because, duh, that's where the magic happens.
- Tap on your profile picture in the top right corner. Pretend you're the star of your own documentary and give yourself a virtual thumbs up.
- Look for the glorious option called "Paid memberships." This is where the real heroes live (don't worry, your cat videos are heroes too).
- You should see your YouTube Premium membership. If you see multiple memberships, just tap on the one you want to reactivate.
- Here comes the hero button: "Resume." Tap it like you mean it. Imagine hitting the play button on the ultimate cat compilation.
- Just to be sure, tap "Resume" again. Because sometimes, double-tapping is the only way the internet gods listen.
And voila! You're back in business. Now you can binge-watch conspiracy theories about the government and cats (or whatever floats your boat) without a single ad interruption.
