    I don’t even have premium? I’m on iOS, I can’t keep up with what’s being criticized as real or not.

      Seems that you don’t even need Premium!

      Sounds like Apple may have forced their hand behind the scenes.

      https://9to5google.com/2022/07/11/youtube-pip-iphone-ipad/

      My initial experience is that it was missing, then tested, then removed again.

      Since you don’t have premium and can still use the feature on iOS, that means they were forced to make it available in general to iOS users. It was off by default for me though, so maybe they made it work but just didn’t turn it on by default?

      Someone else above was saying that Apple has rules about this, and another poster was saying that on Android you need premium for PIP. So maybe iOS did without it for years and then they were forced to add it for all iOS users regardless of the premium sub.

        I will say it doesn’t work predictable with all my apps brought back into view. WefWef is one of the few where it does it every time.
