WhatsApp plans to add picture-in-picture feature for videos
Meta has been updating the WhatsApp app regularly lately with improvements and bug fixes. WhatsApp gets new features every month and the beta version introduces new features almost every week. One of the latest updates for the beta version of WhatsApp was a very important feature: picture-in-picture mode for videos.
Here's What We Know
Experts from WABetaInfo have learnt that WhatsApp for iOS 24.6.77 has introduced the ability to view videos while you're browsing through multiple chats or other parts of the app. WhatsApp currently allows users to use the picture-in-picture mode, but only when watching videos from YouTube and Instagram.
The latest beta version of WhatsApp allows you to use picture-in-picture even when watching videos posted directly on the app. According to the report, the improved picture-in-picture feature is limited to watching videos in the app, so it is not possible to use the mode when switching to another app.
The picture-in-picture feature for videos is still under development and will be available in a future app update.
