To turn on Picture-in-Picture (PIP) on your iPhone, follow these steps:
1. Ensure your iPhone is running on the latest version of iOS, which is iOS 16 at the time of writing. If not, update your device's software to the latest version by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
2. Open the app that you want to use with PIP. PIP is supported by a variety of apps, including the default ones like Safari, FaceTime, and Apple TV, as well as third-party apps like YouTube and Netflix.
3. Once you're in the app, start playing a video or initiate a FaceTime call, depending on the app's functionality.
4. While the video is playing or the call is ongoing, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen. This action will bring up the app switcher or the home screen, depending on your iPhone model.
5. Locate the video or call preview. It should appear as a smaller rectangular window on your screen, overlaying the app switcher or home screen.
6. Tap on the video or call preview to open it in PIP mode.
7. Adjust the size and position of the PIP window by dragging it with your finger to a convenient spot on the screen. You can also pinch to zoom in or out to resize the window.
8. To pause or resume the video or call, simply tap on the PIP window. Additional controls like play/pause, forward, or backward might be available in the PIP window, depending on the app.
That's it! You have successfully turned on PIP on your iPhone. Enjoy multitasking with a small video or call window while using other apps or browsing your device.
