Imagine being in a multitasking world where one can watch videos while doing something else on the device; this bolsters productivity and could be a lot of fun. Well, for users of the iPhone 11, PiP mode is a game-changer in the aspect of enjoying one’s favorite YouTube content without being confined to an app or browser.
PiP mode was introduced in iOS 14, opening it for different video streaming services, including YouTube. This is a feature that enables videos to keep on playing in a movable, resizable floating window on-screen so you never miss that important moment of your favorite show or tutorial. But with YouTube, you have to subscribe to YouTube Premium, which comes with other features such as ad-free playback and playback in the background.
In this article, we will show you how to enable and watch YouTube videos in Picture In Picture mode on iPhone 11.
