YouTube PiP

[Delorean2006]

So I just updated to the latest version of the YouTube app and finally Picture in Picture in enabled! About time!

On what device? Doesn’t work for me on my iPhone 12PM.

Not seeing any YouTube update in the App Store 🤔👀📱

I have the latest version and it does not PIP

 

[Exxonuk]

Same, latest version and premium and PiP doesn’t work

 

[ParagJain]

Me neither.. are you using Youtube app or opening videos from safari browser and viewing youtube videos ?

 

[haruhiko]

Background play always worked if you have YouTube Premium. PiP however never worked with the app. We have to do it via the browser. Didn’t notice any change on my side.

I'm still waiting for my free YouTube PiP, OP? HELLLLOOOO 👀😂

go into the settings and you will see the option for it. you need to have automatically switch to pip on…on the device. I have the option on both my iPad Pro and 12pm. Here’s a screenshot from my iPad.

I don’t have that on my phone. Are you on YouTube premium?

I don’t have that on my phone. Are you on YouTube premium?

I have YouTube premium and I’m not seeing the option in my settings.

If it’s not free I don’t want it 🤔😂 is it free or YouTube premium?

 

[IndianBird]

I want it on YouTube TV.

 

[LFC2020]

It has to be YouTube premium not seeing it on mine either, got my hopes up there for a sec 😂

 

[StumpyBloke]

I have YouTube premium and I’m not seeing the option in my settings.

Cheers. This is an odd one!

Could you let us know.. What version are you on?

 

[SteamedHams]

I have Premium and I’m on the latest version. I don’t have the PIP. It seems Google is doing some A/B testing (=the feature is not enabled for all users).

Seems like OP is the only one so far.
Double-check next time before opening a new thread. Tech blogs would have mentioned it, too.

I’m on version 16.20.5.

I did double check on my devices, I never check “blogs” because they’ll wait a couple days to report anything, just like when Instagram rolled out dark mode, I have it on my iPad, iPhone and my wife’s iPhone. Maybe I’m just a lucky one who has it. I have YouTube premium but never signed up for any beta program or anything. The app though is not great with this version, freezes and crashes a lot though.

What do you mean by this comment?

Me too and I don’t have it. Hopefully I’ll get it soon enough.

Yeah, Youtube probably sent the feature to a select few…. For testing purposes. I can still access PiP through some Shortcut… but I prefer it to be implemented into YT. However, I’m glad they are working on it.. for Premium users.

They probably just disappointed that the feature isn’t supported on their device.
