tvOS 13 includes PiP (Picture in Picture) function to Apple TV

Apple TV

Apple began to differentiate the versions of iOS for iPhone and iPad in 2015, with the launch of iOS 9, a version that offered us on the iPad, the possibility of run two applications in split screen, an important step forward for the iPad that has continued throughout the years, the final touch being the launch of iPadOS.

Another of the functions that were coming to the iPad was the possibility of view the content of an application or video on a website on a floating screen while we were doing other tasks with the iPad, a very interesting function that if you are iPad users you will have taken advantage of it. This feature will also be available with the release of tvOS 13.

Last Monday, Apple released the second beta of iOS 13, watchOS 6, tvOS 13 and macOS Catalina. This second beta, which is still limited to developers, offers us a very interesting New for Apple TV: Picture in Picture.

How this function worksYou can see it in the tweet posted by Nikolaj Hansen-Turton, who was the first to find this new feature after updating his Apple TV to the second beta of tvOS 13.

Thanks to this function, we can browse Apple TV while continuing to consume content in video format in a floating window, a window that we can move to the corner of the TV that interests us the most, as well as allowing us to modify the size of the window or completely stop the playback.

At the moment it seems that this function is only available through the TV application, but it is to be expected that all developers choose to offer this feature, the same one that has been available on the iPad for several years, as well as on the Mac and that is also available in applications such as Infuse, Netflix, Plex in its version for iPad.
