YouTube TV is catching up to other streaming apps including Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Prime Video and others by finally adding support for picture-in-picture on iOS devices running iOS 15 or higher. First introduced to iPad users with iOS 13 then to iPhone with iOS 14 in 2020, YouTube has been slow to adopt this now standard functionality which allows users to stream videos in a small, floating miniplayer on their homescreen while multitasking on their device.

To try out the new functionality with the YouTube TV streaming service, users first select a title they want to play then swipe up from the bottom of the screen to enable the picture-in-picture mode, the company explained in a tweet announcing the news on Wednesday. YouTube said the feature was “slowly rolling out,” so not all users may see the option immediately.
