Google-owned video streaming platform YouTube has disabled the picture-in-picture (PiP) mode globally on all iOS and iPadOS 15.0 and higher-running devices.
Global YouTube Premium subscribers will be able to watch videos on their iPhones and iPads in PiP mode, which allows them to browse other apps on their devices while watching the videos in a small, floating window.
Non-Premium customers, on the other hand, will be able to use the PiP mode for free only in the United States and for non-music content, as per an ANI report.
If you live in the United States and want PiP mode for music, you’ll need to purchase a YouTube Premium subscription.
In a blog post, YouTube stated that PiP for iPhone and iPad will be available “over the next several days,” but in a tweet, the firm stated that it is “slowly rolling out” to users.
In any case, it’s safe to say that it’ll be at least a few weeks until all eligible iPhone/iPad users have this functionality on their devices.
