The latest Nick Crawley video for instance if anybody wants to try.

Edit: Wait it’s happening on the latest Penguin0 video too. So confused.

Edit: It’s happening on all videos. Dopamine overload for me. Watching YouTube and browsing Lemmy.

Edit: Wondering if it cause I have a VPN connected to Miami. Not used a VPN for a while, but started last week.

    I really do think it is a bug. As this has happened to me before, but it only works until the next version of the app comes around.

      Pip has been a thing on iPhone for a long time.

      YouTube kept it behind Premium, until recently apparently. I wonder if they know people switch away a lot on phones and sometimes don’t come back so they now allow it.

    In Germany there are channels owned by our public broadcasters which won’t have ads and let you watch their videos offline, even if you’re not paying for YouTube Premium. Letting you enter PiP is not possible iirc, but it might be in other countries having the same model.

    Edit: Also, YouTube seems to be a buggy mess in iOS 😅

    nice man. My phone has been in split screen 90% of the time since I think Android 8. Plex or YouTube revanced up top, Lemmy or Reddit on the bottom.

      I really don’t get how people enjoy consuming two sources of information at once. Every time I try to watch something while doing something else, I get frustrated at how I’m unable to properly focus on one thing.

        when I was a kid I would doodle in class because it was easier to pay attention to the teacher when I was doing something else
