It looks like the YouTube website is now giving access to all iOS 14 users to take advantage of the picture-in-picture (PIP) functionality, even if they don’t have a YouTube Premium subscription. MacRumors noted the change last night.
iOS 14 introduced PIP to the iPhone this summer, but in September, PIP stopped working with YouTube’s mobile website unless you had a Premium subscription. YouTube told Engadget that background playback was a Premium feature.
Now, all iOS 14 users seem to have access to the PIP functionality, at least through Safari. The local YouTube app still doesn’t support PIP, even if you have a Premium account. As MacRumors notes, since YouTub hasn’t made any announcements, we’re not certain if this is a permanent change or not. But third-party apps, like Netflix, are gradually offering PIP for iOS 14, so it wouldn’t be completely surprising.
