The possibility of playing video in a floating window on iOS devices, came from the hand of iOS 9, but only to the iPad, as a way to increase the productivity of users as well as the split window, some functions highly anticipated by users. regular iPad users. But both functions are only available for the iPad, although many iPhone users have demanded this option, Apple continues and will likely continue to not offer this option in future versions of iOS for the iPhone or iPod Touch.
Fortunately, and if we are regular jailbreak users, we can use this to enable the Picture in Picture mode on our iPhone, although it is honestly not recommended unless we have a lynx sight and we have quite thin fingers. Pegasus was one of the first tweaks that allowed us to perform this function, but to use it you have to go to the cashier and pay the $ 2,99 it costs. However, the ForceInPicture tweak offers us the same function of being able to view videos in a floating window but for free through the Cydia application store.
Once we have installed this tweak, we will be able to launch the video to a floating window thanks to the button designed for this purpose in the playback controls. Once we have pressed that button, we click on the Home button to see how the video is floating on the springboard. This tweak works in all applications or web with embedded videos that are compatible with this function and among which YouTube is unfortunately not found. Once we have the video in a floating window, three buttons will appear on it with which we can restore the video to the application or web page where they were, pause the video or close it.
