Apple has recently launched its new iOS 14 updates in WWDC on June 22. Apple has come up with so many new features in this new iOS update. One of the most awaited features which Apple has launched in this update is Picture in Picture mode for iPhone. Most of the iOS users were craving for this feature. They have also added some more features to this Picture in Picture mode, which makes it work more smoothly. Earlier it was only for iPad, and Google was using it for so many years.

So let’s talk about the feature itself. This Picture in Picture mode in iPhone works as a multitasking tool. It means you can use a streaming application alongside other applications at the same time on your iPhone. If you have used some android devices or are an android user, you may know about it. It makes your application in the size of a thumbnail by which you can use any other app simultaneously. That screen will be sticking around while you open your browser, do some chats, and change your settings you can access it through any application.
