WhatsApp Creates A New Picture In Picture Display, Here's How To Use It

YOGYAKARTA - WhatsApp has updated the "Picture this Picture" feature that allows users to watch video posts that enter their chat column, while opening other conversations in the application.

By using the "Picture in Picture" feature, the latest version, users can play videos in a small window, without having to exit the chat menu or continue to do other activities within the WhatsApp application.

In addition, the latest version of WhatsApp's "Picture in Picture" display has been redesigned so that it can show menu details that can be used. One of the most notable changes is the "Pause", "Actual Size", and "Close" buttons, which are placed below the video window.

In the old version of the "Picture in Picture" feature, these 3 menus are placed above the video (overlay), and only appear when the user taps on the video first. However, currently, you can see the 3 menus each time using "Picture in Picture".

For users who have never used the "Picture in Picture" feature and are still confused about how to use it, this article will explain the steps that can be taken to use "Picture in Picture" in the WhatsApp application.

If you are interested in using the "Picture in Picture" menu, here are the steps the VOI team has put together for you to do.

To use the latest version of the "Picture in Picture" menu, users can update your WhatsApp application to the latest version on the Play Store or App Store, by clicking the "Update" button available.

Next, you can enter the WhatsApp application. You also don't need to make changes to certain settings on your device to use the "Picture in Picture" mode to the latest version.

By updating WhatsApp, every time you receive/send a video from a third-party link, to use the "Picture in Picture" feature you can tap the "Preview" icon, which is in each video link in your conversation column.

Next, the "Picture in Picture" feature will be activated automatically and you can use it. As explained earlier, videos that you play in the WhatsApp application with the "Picture in Picture" feature will be at the top of your WhatsApp.

If you have updated WhatsApp to the latest version, 3 menu icons will appear that you can choose, namely "Pause" to pause the video, "Actual Size" to set the image size, and "Close" to stop playing the video.

Apart from that, you can also enter full screen mode by tapping the 4 arrows icon facing each other. When you enter that mode, you can use the slider to rewind or forward the video.

Meanwhile, to exit full screen mode, tap on the option that looks like 4 arrows facing each other, which you used earlier to enter full screen mode.

For the record, the "Picture in Picture" feature will only work if you tap on the preview of the video link sent to you. If you choose to click on the link, you will be taken directly to the main source of the video.

That's how to use the latest version of the "Picture in Picture" feature in the WhatsApp application. You can use it to watch videos sent to you and keep doing other WhatsApp chat activities.
