Is Netflix picture-in-picture working for iPads on iOS 10? I haven't seen anything on the forums about it. Is it a gradual rollout or am I just missing the way to launch it? I expected you'd press the Home button while in the video, but maybe I'm wrong.

Not complaining, before I get the usual "it's a beta" screams, just curious whether it's working for others or not.

No, it doesn't work in ios10. The button simply doesn't display. Im guessing (and I am guessing) that the Netflix app is doing "is this iOS 9?" check.

There is no pip button. You just have to push the home button. But it doesn't work in iOS 10 yet, probably just a bug.

Yep, you're right. Brain fart on my part. No button , which confused the heck out of me until I read the reviews for Netflix to see how to activate it the first time, but it doesn't work in any case.

Yeah the other topic discusses just about every time there is a new iOS beta or a Netflix bug update. It's been torturous because Netflix is constantly updating the app for bug fixes but they never seem to fix the pip bug. I'm sure all will be well by this time next week. I've been going nuts with out it but iOS 10 on my iPad mini 2 is like a whole new device ( fast and useful again) so ill patiently wait for Netflix to update for iOS 10. For those of you with a mini 2 the iOS 10 update has sped up the device so much I'm ecstatic you should definitely consider even without Netflix pip
