How do I minimize YouTube on iPhone?

Youtube icon

For starters, please forget about this feature on YouTube itself. Now it is impossible to do this on the platform. At least until they release an update to enable PiP on YouTube, but in the meantime, follow these steps.

  1. Open Safari for iPhone and visit YouTube.com
  2. Search for a video.
  3. Scroll to the bottom and click the "Aa" icon.
  4. Then select 'request desktop site.'
  5. Click on play.
  6. Scroll up to your iPhone's home screen, and you'll see that Picture in Picture mode has been enabled for YouTube.

Play your favorite music, watch YouTube videos, or scroll Facebook or Twitter while you use your iPhone to do other things. This feature has no restrictions.

For those who have never used an iPhone before but are struggling to understand what Picture-in–Picture mode does, I can help.

You must have seen a minimize button on a computer, and the same thing is true for an iPhone. This feature is very handy and allows you to play videos in the background while you are doing other things. You can reduce your video to a mini-player, leaving most of your screen available for viewing.

You can use the entire screen and still play the video in the background by swiping right or left on the mini-player. It will then hide behind your iPhone's bezels. The video can be brought back to the foreground at any time.

This feature has many uses, and you will be able to enjoy YouTube in PiP with the latest update.
