WhatsApp already lets you watch a YouTube video in PiP mode and now this functionality might be available for video calls on the platform. The Meta-owned messaging app is testing adding the picture-in-picture (PiP) mode for its iOS app. Check out the details below.
WABetaInfo, known for keeping a track of WhatsApp features, has revealed that the PiP mode for video calls is being tested as part of WhatsApp for iOS beta version 22.24.0.79. There’s no word on availability for Android.
Currently, you can just check out other chats on WhatsApp while you are on a video call. The PiP mode will activate if you exit the WhatsApp app during a video call. It is said that this can also hide your video call view if you want for the time being.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is also planning to improve search on the app and might soon let you look for messages by date. It was recently announced that WhatsApp will refrain people from taking screenshots of disappearing messages and now, some Android beta users are seeing a presentation sheet for View Once messages, telling people that screenshots are prohibited.
