YouTube Expands Free PiP to Non-US iPhone Users

TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

YouTube announces picture-in-picture mode on iPhone and iPad expands to more users worldwide. The feature rolls out globally and ends limits to U.S. users and Premium subscribers.

Non-Premium users worldwide gain PiP access for longform, non-music content on iOS and Android. U.S. users and global Premium subscribers see no change, as it was already available to them.

Premium Lite members use PiP for longform, non-music content. Premium members access it for music and non-music content.

Picture-in-picture shrinks video into a movable small window alongside other apps. Users swipe up from the YouTube app to activate it.

YouTube states the changes roll out in the coming months.
