WhatsApp Will Launch PIP Mode in Android – Rolled Out for Beta Users

If you know about the Android Oreo update then you have listened to the PIP Mode that is picture-in-picture mode. Picture-in-Picture Mode has been introduced in the Android Oreo V8.0 which gives a new experience to the user about opening a small snippet into a running app. The same happens with the WhatsApp PIP Mode as well. WhatsApp is working on the Picture-in-Picture Mode so that they can give the update as a new feature in Android users. However, the beta users have got the update already so that they can test it and report to the WhatsApp community for any bugs and other things.

What basically WhatsApp has done is that previously when someone shares a Youtube link. And, when you click on the link then you have seen that you are diverted to the Youtube app on your smartphone. But, WhatsApp has tried to do something different. WhatsApp developers have added the picture-in-picture mode which was in Android Oreo to the WhatsApp Android app. Users will now be able to click on a youtube link and watch the video in the WhatsApp app without leaving or diverting to the Youtube app.
