For years we have been enjoying the option of picture in picture in some video call applications or in video applications such as YouTube, a way that we have to perform multitasking without missing any detail of that call in video or that video we are watching.
And as far as iPhone users are concerned, while Apple debuted picture-in-picture functionality in iOS 14, third-party apps need to do the setup separately, and WhatsApp has been working on it to be implemented as soon as possible.
Following an original beta rollout, the latest stable version of WhatsApp for iOS devices now includes picture-in-picture functionality, though it’s likely that not everyone already has it available.
Thus, the latest official update for WhatsApp already includes the image-in-image function, which allows us to continue our video call in a small window while we do something else with the iPhone.
Until now, if we are making a video call, but we left WhatsApp to ask another question, the video call would directly freeze, leaving the other person stranded.
But with this new picture-in-picture functionality in WhatsApp for iOS, if you go out of the video call, it will automatically minimize to a small window, so you can keep this video call with the recipient without spoiling the experience.
More news in this latest update
But this has not been the only novelty of the latest update of WhatsApp for iOS devices, but also includes other small novelties that you should know about.
Specifically in this version 23.3.77other improvements have been brought such as the ability to add subheadings when submitting documents, additional support for topics, and longer group descriptions.
There may be a slight chance that, even if you have updated WhatsApp, some of these features are still not available, and it seems that it is a gradual update.
