One of iOS 14’s large new highlights is picture-in-picture mode, which lets you watch a video in a little window while you’re doing different things on your iPhone. That could be convenient on the off chance that you, state, needed to watch a YouTube video in Safari while talking with your companions or browsing email. Yet, lamentably, it appears YouTube has planned something for prevent recordings from proceeding to play when PIP mode is actuated — except if you pay for YouTube Premium, that is.
See with your own eyes. Pull up a video on YouTube’s site in Safari on your iPhone and take it full screen. In the event that you tap to pull up playback controls, you should see an image in-picture symbol in the upper left corner of your screen. Tap that, and the video quickly goes into its own window before getting back to its typical spot on YouTube’s site. Furthermore, in the event that you attempt to return to your home screen while viewing a video in full screen, you’ll see that it quickly glimmers into picture-in-picture mode before vanishing.
Strikingly, as seen by MacRumors, you can watch YouTube recordings in picture-in-picture mode on the off chance that they’re inserted on a site. Furthermore, in the event that you have YouTube Premium, picture-in-picture fills in true to form. However, it’s not working appropriately in case you’re a free client. This wasn’t the situation as of late as yesterday, as indicated by MacRumors, and I recollect it dealing with the iOS 14 betas in front of the product’s authentic delivery this week.
Picture-in-picture mode actually works with YouTube recordings in Safari in case you’re utilizing an iPad, whether or not you have a free or Premium record.
It’s muddled if this is a bug or if YouTube eliminated the usefulness purposefully. For its own application, YouTube limits the capacity to play recordings out of sight to YouTube Premium endorsers. It appears to be conceivable that YouTube needs to confine picture-in-picture to its paying supporters.
