Picture in Picture with Facetime not working since installing iPad OS
I use Facetime daily and PIP was something I used constantly with it. I haven't been able to use this since at least installing iPad OS (possibly longer). I've found multiple threads about this but no resolution.
The way it used to work was from Facetime I would go to the home screen, Facetime would enter PIP, and then I could pick another app. The app would launch but I was still able to continue the Facetime call in picture in picture mode. With iPad OS the Facetime window still goes into PIP mode when I go to the home screen but when I launch any other app the Facetime window disappears. They can hear me and I can hear them but I can't see them. I can exit the app and go back into full screen Facetime and see the other party again.
This support page says the following: "If you’re using FaceTime or watching a movie, tap
and the video screen scales down to a corner of your display. Then you can open a second app and the video will continue to play. " That is not possible for me because that symbol is not shown anywhere for me when using Facetime in full screen mode. I only see it when I go to the home screen and Facetime enters PIP mode. When I touch the symbol it returns Facetime to full screen.
Under Multitasking in settings "Picture in Picture" is turned on. I have a 2018 iPad Pro (with Face ID) so the hardware isn't the issue.
