It seems that YouTube is finally going to implement the function of «Picture in Picture»On iOS devices. This will allow you to watch a video with the YouTube application closed while browsing with Safari.
It will be implemented in a gradual. It has started in the US but the developer has promised to expand its implementation very soon, both in users with Premium subscription or without it. We will wait, then.
YouTube has just published that it is going to start implementing "Picture in Picture" support in its iOS application, allowing all users, both premium and non-premium subscribers, to close the YouTube application and continue watching their video in a small pop-up window.
It had been speculated that this new feature would only be available to YouTube paid subscribers, but today the company itself has denied it. It will be a function for all users. Great news.
The implementation of this service will be gradual. YouTube first started with the US users, and it will be expanding to more countries within a few days, until its update is completed for all users.
It will certainly be very useful when implemented in iPadOS. Thanks to the generous screen that iPads have, it will be very practical to be able to watch any YouTube video in a pop-up screen with the application closed, while you continue browsing the web with Safari.
It is not fully understood why its implantation has to be gradual. It is simply an update of the application, where the servers that YouTube has scattered around the planet have nothing to do with it. But the fact is that it will be like this.
So we will be attentive to see when it will finally be implemented in our country, but it seems that it is already matter of days. We will see.
