YouTube Bringing Free Picture-in-Picture to iPhone Users Outside the U.S.
Key Points:
- YouTube is expanding its picture-in-picture (PiP) mode on iPhone and iPad to more users worldwide, removing the previous limitation to U.S. users and Premium subscribers.
- Non-Premium users globally will now have access to PiP for longform, non-music content on both iOS and Android devices.
- Premium Lite members can use PiP for longform, non-music content, while Premium members have PiP access for both music and non-music content.
- PiP allows users to watch videos in a small movable window while using other apps by swiping up to exit the YouTube app.
- The global rollout of these PiP changes is expected to occur over the coming months.
