On Mobile

The official YouTube apps on Android and iOS don't support the loop feature yet. But there's a workaround.

On the mobile app, add the video to a new playlist. To create a new playlist, tap on the "save" icon on the right below the video. Long press on the "save" icon will allow you to save the video to a "new playlist."

If this workaround doesn't work for you, simply open YouTube.com on your mobile browser.

Tap on the three icons on the top right, request for desktop site.

Once the desktop version of YouTube opens on your browser, tap on the YouTube video - select loop.

You can also exit the video by tapping on the home button on your phone. This will allow you to play the video in the background.
