YouTube TV rolls out Multiview for iPhone and iPad. Android is next...

Google has confirmed that YouTube TV is now rolling out Multiview support on iPhone and iPad. For Android users, the feature will be available at a later date.

Here's What We Know

The feature, called Multiview, allows you to watch multiple channels at the same time and was launched on smart TVs last year. Google announced that it has started releasing the Multiview feature on iPhone and iPad, and it will be coming to Android smartphones and tablets in the coming months.

This may disappoint some users, as Google seems to favour Apple's platform over its own Android system.

The Multiview feature, which was launched on TVs last year, allows users to watch up to four channels simultaneously. Recently, Multiview has added more options to customise which four channels can be shown. On iPhones and iPads, the feature works from the Home tab, but only with selected channels.

One Reddit user shared a video of the functionality in action. The feature isn't as advanced as on TVs, but it's still useful. Multiview should be available on iPhone and iPad via an update to version 8.11 of the YouTube TV app for iOS.

Unfortunately, YouTube TV reports that the Multiview feature won't be available for the Android app anytime soon. According to the developers, it should be available "in the coming months."
