The system for multitasking implemented by Apple in iOS 4 has changed a lot in terms of the way applications run in the background. Now, for example, users can run multimedia content from one application in the background while using another application, but the process of switching applications is unfortunately imperfect. When you open a video clip in Safari and let it run, the moment you close Safari that video clip will stop instead of continuing, and you have to activate the task switcher and restart it. Web Background Video Playback comes to solve this problem, keeping that streaming active even when you close Safari to use another application.
This tweak is a simple one to let videos continue to play in Safari when you leave it to go do something else – so you can finally go answer that iMessage without everything pausing on you.
Web Background Video Playback works with iOS 5.1 or higher and is available in Cydia.
