With Picture in Picture, you can watch a video or use FaceTime while you use other apps. The video window scales down to a corner of your screen, and you can resize it, move it to a different corner, hide it off the edge of the screen, or return to a full video screen.
Note: Picture in Picture only works with supported apps and videos, so if you don’t see the option, the app or video may not support it.
Start Picture in Picture
While watching a video, tap the Minimize Video button in the video window.
With the video window scaled down to a corner of your screen, you can see the Home Screen and open other apps.
