YouTube iPhone/iPad Apps Finally Get PiP in U.S.

13 JULY 2022 - A long awaited feature has finally made it to U.S. users of the YouTube iPhone and iPad apps. After months of testing, a piece from The Mac Observer says the online video service is finally rolling out picture-in-picture to all users. In the U.S.

As the name implies, the feature will let users of the YouTube app watch videos in a smaller screen while using other apps. Great for news, old movie clips, user generated content, and music videos - music videos not included. For picture-in-picture music videos, you have to be a premium subscriber.

If it’s not working for your YouTube app, be patient. The service says the rollout will occur “over the next several days.” No word in the piece on plans for picture-in-picture outside the U.S.
