Finally, the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode for YouTube will soon be available for all iOS users across the globe. Since April, we had already heard the news about the feature making its way to global iOS users, but it never happened until now.

It's worth mentioning there's a catch for it. Besides subscribing to the platform's premium plan, you would also need to have the devices running iOS and iPadOS 15.0 or higher. If you have those satisfied, you will be able to play music and non-music content in PiP mode on iPhones and iPads.

For those who still don't know what is PiP, it actually allows the YouTube videos to be watched in a small floating window while simultaneously browsing other apps on your devices. YouTube announces the global release of the feature in a blog post by mentioning that it'll be available "over the next several days". Therefore, it should arrive sooner or later within these few weeks.
