[Mobile China News] Since the release of iOS14, Apple has updated its system a lot, including web video picture-in-picture function. This function is mainly used in the Apple browser Safari, and then can also be used in third-party browsers such as Chrome and Firefox. But what is more special is that the functions that can be realized on the foreign video website YouTube are restricted, which makes it impossible for users to watch videos on the iPhone in picture-in-picture mode. But this feature is back in the latest iOS 14.5 beta release.
iOS 14.5 beta version to realize the YouTube picture-in-picture function (picture source comes from the Internet)
Use the Apple picture-in-picture function to play the video in the webpage on the desktop, just when you watch the video in the browser Use full-screen playback, and then click the picture-in-picture switch in the upper left corner, you can adjust the size and position on the desktop at will, even if you use other applications, it will not be affected. Previously, YouTube canceled support for this feature, and users need to subscribe to YouTube Premium to be able to achieve it. Then, in October, YouTube briefly restored the feature for a few days before restricting it again for unknown reasons.

Through the update of the iOS 14.5 beta version, we can see that Apple modified the underlying code of iOS to pave the way for this feature , Which led to the support of this feature from the system level, which also led to the breaking of YouTube’s previous restriction plan. Perhaps in the coming days YouTube will still impose a new round of restrictions on the picture-in-picture function. There is evidence that this may be possible. It is because YouTube hopes that the picture-in-picture function can be realized in its native application, and does not encourage users to watch picture-in-picture videos through mobile web pages. In the future, we will have to wait for the official release of iOS 14.5 to know how this feature responds to YouTube's restrictions, and we will continue to pay attention.
