ipad pro ios 15.3 issues with pip/netflix

I was having the same problem! Started a few days ago while I was using the app…. I just went into Settings>general> Picture in Picture and turned it off, started Netflix (still wasn’t working), went back to the settings and turned it back on. Voila! Now it’s back! Definitely some new bug.

Lol nvm, I got it working! Try toggling pip again and then force-restart/hard reset the device (ie, hold down the power + home buttons til device shuts off and apple logo appears, or the vol(-), then vol(+), then power button, depending on what device you’re using/whether or not it has a home button).

Not sure if this will work for you but it DID work for me, so if you haven’t tried it yet it’s def worth a shot :) Good luck!

Yeah restarting Netflix didn’t help but thankfully force restarting my iPad did… as for how long it lasts tho I guess only time will tell ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's an issue with Netflix app.

Netflix needs to fix their app.

Only work around I have found is close the Netflix app, restart it.

It will work properly for a short time before you will have to do it again.

Hey there, NWPender!

We appreciate you reaching out on Apple Support Communities. From our understanding, you’re unable to use the Multitask feature or picture in picture with Netflix on your iPad. We’d be happy to look into this with you!

You’ve done some fantastic troubleshooting so far. So that we can isolate this further, does this only occur with the Netflix app or with all apps?

If it only occurs with Netflix, have you reached out to them regarding this matter? Also, you mentioned that you were able to view this on your other iPad. Are both devices on the same iPadOS version? You can find that in Settings > General > About.

Kindest regards!

It did not fix the problem for me and I tried it several times.

Same issue here, PIP in all other streaming apps still works as normal, just the Netflix app has stopped. I haven’t tried to used Netflix in PIP for about a month so not sure exactly when the issue started

Same here. First thing I did was make sure pip was still enabled (which it was), second was to toggle it off and on (which fixed nothing), and third was to come here in search of a solution (which doesn’t seem to exist).

Yay 👍🫠🆘

Hello, I’m having the same issue. It worked before but I think it’s something with Netflix because I can use PIP on Apple TV app

It happens with me, also.

Last night I watched Schitt’s Creek on Netflix. Today-can;t watch Sweet Magnolias.

Is it program specific?

I can confirm this works. Thanks!

I did it in the exact way you stated.

Thanks! This fixed it

Thanks it works for me too !
