Way back in 2018, YouTube introduced picture-in-picture mode on Android. Three years later, the feature finally made its way to iOS. This would allow iPhone and iPad users to continue watching a video in the miniplayer outside of the YouTube app. Unfortunately, that rollout wasn't especially wide, and it was only available to select YouTube Premium subscribers. But now, at long last, more iOS users are gaining access to the long-awaited feature.
YouTube told TechCrunch this week that it plans to launch picture-in-picture viewing for all iOS users on iPhone and iPad in the future. In the meantime, anyone with a YouTube Premium subscription is invited to test the feature. One of the perks of Premium is being able to test new features early.
