No matter what I do, Picture in Picture ONLY works for apple support YouTube videos. I have been on YouTube for half an hour proving this theory. Music? No. Tutorials? No. Apple support is the ONLY videos it will play. I got it to work once for one video and that was it. I’ve reset my phone, redownloaded, everything. What can I do to get it to actually work?
iPhone 12, iOS 16
Currently, the Apple TV app has this feature for sure.
If your video player app (YouTube) doesn’t support PIP right now, then you may have to wait for the developer to update the app compatible with iOS 14 and above with PiP.
Alternatively, you may go to youtube.com in Safari, play a video, and make it full screen. Now you can select the newly-added PIP button on an iPhone running iOS 14, and the video will pop out from the page. You can change tabs or navigate to different apps, and the video will keep running in the PIP.
