Miracles for the people of Manzana! Yes, just like you read in the headline. YouTube has given a big surprise to all those who have iOS 15 onwards. This time it is the famous minimized window that was once free and that today, due to changes in the terms and conditions, became an option that only those who paid could enjoy. This will come to an end in 2022. This has been announced by the official YouTube account, and it could arrive in the next update of the app.
This famous floating screen, known by its acronym in English as PiP (picture in picture), is the famous option that is enabled once we close the YouTube application while watching a video to perform other actions, such as answering a WhatsApp message, instagram etc.
For a long time, this option has been enabled in applications such as Netflix, Apple TV, HBO Max, Twitch, as it was established by Apple’s own operating system; however, for YouTube, this option was blocked and its use was reserved only for users who paid subscription.

At the moment, we do not know when this long-awaited option will be released, but what is certain is that it will first arrive for Americans. As reported by MacRumors, the function has also been activated on the iPhone of more people around the world. Therefore, it is likely that we will end up having it active everywhere sooner rather than later.
Unfortunately, this will only be active for devices that are compatible with the iOS operating system. Regarding Android, we have no news. It will be a matter of time before we can soon use this option paying or not for YouTube Premium.
