YouTube Announces Picture-in-Picture Will Arrive on iOS 'in a Matter of Days'

Posted April 11, 2022 at 3:21pm by iClarified
YouTube has announced that picture-in-picture support will arrive on iOS 'in a matter of days'.

Experimental support for the feature had been available to YouTube Premium members since last August; however, the company ended the test on April 8, without offering information on the feature's future.

Yesterday, in response to a user's question, @TeamYouTube confirmed that full support for picture-in-picture is now rolling out.


Are you using an iOS smartphone? If so, the Picture-in-Picture feature is still rolling out & will be available in a matter of days across all iOS 15+ devices.

To check if your app has been updated with the feature, begin watching a video, swipe up (or press home) to close the app and watch in a miniplayer. If you don't see support for picture-in-picture, you can try to force quit the iPhone app and relaunch or uninstall and reinstall. If that still doesn't work, you likely need to wait a bit longer for the update to roll out.

UPDATE:
YouTube has walked back this announcement.
