News & Reviews:   picture-in-picture

In an unexpected move, Google is rolling out broader access to picture-in-picture playback on YouTube, with the feature set to reach users worldwide over the coming months. The update aims to make multitasking easier by allowing videos to continue playing even when users leave the app.

Have you had to take a video call while doing something else? This can be annoying, as you would often have to end the call to do so. For WhatsApp, the solution is to implement picture-in-picture (PiP) mode. Well, this feature is now officially available to iOS users.

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.

Finally, YouTube is ready to roll out the picture-in-picture support for iOS users. According to the video streaming platform, the feature could launch "in a matter of days across all iOS 15+ devices".

For large screens, it makes sense to take full advantage of the space available. However, picture-in-picture mode isn't always available. That's the case for the YouTube TV app on Apple devices, but it looks like YouTube has finally managed to add the feature to iOS.
