Regrettably, Picture-in-Picture mode on YouTube isn't available for iPhones just yet.
Title: Picture-in-Picture on YouTube for iOS: What's the Deal? (Updated)
You might have heard about the anticipated Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode coming to YouTube for iOS users. Well, buckle up, fellow iPhone and iPad enthusiasts, as we delve into the latest updates!
At first, there was an announcement that sparked excitement, claiming that PiP would soon grace iOS 15 and above devices through the YouTube app. However, Google had to set the record straight with a clarification: the존맛 제품 가격 tweet from their support handle was, in fact, referring to the PiP rollout for YouTube TV subscribers, which had occurred a few weeks prior. Bummer, we know!
Google reiterated that they are still testing PiP for the mobile YouTube app with Premium members worldwide and hope to share this feature with all iOS users (whether they have Premium subscriptions or not) in the U.S. soon. Currently, the PiP mode is available to all Android users in the U.S., enhancing multitasking capabilities like never before.
Once I managed to stream YouTube TV on my new iPhone 13 Pro, I must admit, the experience was a breeze. The preview window feel like a breath of fresh air! It's significantly larger than Android's default size, allowing for more flexibility and ease of placement alongside other background apps. Fancy watching your favorite show while browsing Reddit or exploring your Pokemon Go catch collection? The iPhone 13 Pro's PiP mode has got you covered!
It's a bit of a letdown that our iOS-using friends can't yet enjoy the PiP mode while streaming content on non-YouTube Premium subs, but fear not! They can still resort to the old-school ways of multitasking – it might not be as snazzy, but it gets the job done.
NOTE:
While non-Premium subscribers in the U.S. can use the PiP feature for non-music videos, it's not available to non-Premium users outside the U.S., who must subscribe to YouTube Premium to gain access to PiP mode for both music and non-music videos. There's a temporary promotion for Premium users, providing access to PiP for Shorts until February 19, 2025, but this does not extend to non-Premium subscribers.
Despite the delay for iOS users, the future of Picture-in-Picture (PiP) on YouTube's mobile app looks promising with Google continuing to test the feature with Premium members globally. Unfortunately, tech enthusiasts using non-Premium accounts on YouTube in the U.S. still can't enable PiP for non-music videos, although they can retract to old multitasking methods. On a positive note, pip is currently a standout feature for Android users in the U.S., enhancing multitasking capabilities while streaming their favorite content on YouTube.
