A long-overdue but welcome change.

Google has begun rolling out a new update to its iOS YouTube TV app that enables picture-in-picture functionality for both iPhone and iPad users. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to watch something in PiP mode. The video will then automatically resize and move across the screen of your device.

Today’s update is long overdue, a fact Google acknowledged. “We really appreciate your patience while we worked on enabling this key feature for your iOS 15+ devices,” the company said on Twitter. To put the wait in perspective, Apple’s mobile operating system has supported picture-in-picture functionality on iPad since iOS 13 and iPhone since iOS 14. What’s more, the feature has been available through the company’s main YouTube app since last year.
