JAKARTA - Youtube is testing picture-in-picture (PiP) for the iOS 14 update. The PiP feature allows users to play videos or other applications simultaneously on one screen.

Quoting 9to5Mac, the PiP feature has been present in Apple devices since iOS 9. However, the Youtube application does not yet support the PiP feature on the operating system (OS) 14.

The plan is that the PiP feature update for iOS devices will be rolled out gradually with the latest version of YouTube. But other reports say that the feature will only work for videos only.

In fact, the PiP feature offers a way to continue watching videos while opening other applications. The user can start playing the video in the app and when they close it, the video will continue playing in a smaller window on the screen.

However, Youtube only allows users to play videos in the background when they subscribe to Youtube Premium. So, you need to subscribe to Youtube Premium to get this feature.

YouTube premium costs US $ 11.99 per month. But if the user subscribes via the YouTube application for iOS, the user must pay 15.99 US dollars because of the 30 percent commission from the App Store.

With Youtube Premium, users can get an ad-free viewing experience with video playback support in the background. This service is also included with a Youtube Music Premium subscription.
