JAKARTA, iNews.id – One of the features iOS 14 Its flagship product is Picture in Picture (PiP). This feature allows users to watch videos in the background, so you can enjoy movies while opening social media.
Previously, with this feature, users could watch videos Youtube in the background for free using the mobile web like Safari. So that users can watch their favorite videos or listen to music on YouTube without having to open the application.
It’s a trick that went viral on the internet, even before iOS 14 was officially released call. But unfortunately, this trick can no longer be done.
According to a MacRumors report, the YouTube mobile website has stopped supporting iOS 14’s PiP mode, at least for free users. Thus as reported from Engadget, Sunday (20/9/2020).
Meanwhile, iPad users who usually visit the desktop version of the site do not experience this problem.
So far, it’s unclear whether YouTube intentionally restricts the activity or functionality of these apps and sites. However, the official YouTube app doesn’t support PIP on iPhone regardless of your Premium status.
It’s no surprise that this decision was intentional. The reason is, YouTube Premium itself offers background playback as one of its main facilities. Additionally, rumors are circulating that this is because the promised YouTube 4K support on the Apple TV has not materialized.
Whatever the cause, from now on users will no longer be able to use viral tricks to play YouTube videos in the background for free.
