The picture-in-picture (PiP) function has been introduced on smartphones for a while now, but many apps on iOS devices have yet to support the feature. Luckily, YouTube TV users on iOS devices are finally getting the much-requested PiP following an announcement on Wednesday.
“We’re happy to share that picture-in-picture is now rolling out to your iOS 15+ devices,” the company said on the official YouTube TV Twitter page. Some users who have seen the PiP function live on their iPhones and iPads reported that the function needs to be enabled from the in-app Settings menu.
The announcement comes after YouTube Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan told The Vergecast last month that the long-awaited PiP function was coming to YouTube TV on iOS devices “in the next few months.” It turned out that waiting would not take that long.
Just to give more context on how long iOS users had to wait for this, Google first introduced the PiP mode as one of the new features of the Android 8.0 update. The software version, also known as Oreo or Android O, went live in August 2017. In November of the same year, the YouTube TV app for Android devices already received an update that added PiP mode.
The PiP mode on YouTube TV’s iOS app works similar to how it functions on Android. While a video is playing, users can return to the homepage by swiping up on the screen. The video will continue playing in a scaled-down, floating frame to allow the users to navigate on other apps. Users can also drag the video while in PiP mode across the screen so it will not hinder them from viewing the content of an open app in the background.
“We really appreciate your patience while we worked on enabling this key feature for your iOS 15+ devices,” YouTube TV added. “We hope you enjoy this easy way to stream.”
Meanwhile, YouTube Premium subscribers on iOS can also use PiP as an experimental feature. They can opt-in through the YouTube Labs page.
Google has extended the testing of PiP mode on iOS several times earlier this year. Currently, the YouTube Labs page indicates the experiment will end on April 8. But Google previously confirmed with MacRumors that it is still planning to roll out the PiP feature to all YouTube users in the United States, including those without a Premium membership.
