Four years after its arrival on Android, PiP (Picture-in-Picture) mode begins to arrive for WhatsApp video calls for iPhone. As usual, does it first for beta users, but we will be able to start enjoying it in the stable version in the coming weeks. Main task? The ability to make video calls without the need to be inside the application.

PiP mode begins to arrive in WhatsApp on iPhones

PiP mod has been on Android since 2018. It was born with the aim of allowing users to watch videos while surfing other apps without being forced to stay in chat. It was also a function compatible with video calls, which has been in the app since 2016.

Four years after PiP’s arrival, WhatsApp starts implementing in beta for iOS. The app has been lagging and PiP mode has been in iOS since 2020, a function that Apple released with iOS 14. As of version 22.24.0.79, WhatsApp’s PiP mode Already supports video calls, as we read on Xataka Móvil.

Once we receive (or create) we can move the small blade of our video call anywhere on the screen. This will remain fixed in the area we have set, and you will be able to use the rest of the applications normally. Although the app comes from WhatsApp and PiP is active as of iOS 14, it needs to be taken into account. we can’t enjoy this function if we don’t use at least iOS 16.1.

This innovation reaches WhatsApp Beta users first, but it won’t be long before it reaches other users in the stable version. Currently, the stable version does not support more usersbut you can check out Testflight to sign up as soon as you have a place.
