Please help! Picture in Picture

My Picture in Picture feature does not work on my phone for some reason for YouTube on safari. It had worked in the past but hasn’t been working for a while. What happens is, when watching a video on safari YouTube the PiP button is there but when I press it, it does the action of going out of the video and has it as the PiP but then the video stops playing and goes back to the normal YouTube again. Please help me.

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 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.


See the pic below, a snapshot was taken on iPhone SE 1st Gen iOS 14.0.1
