Google has confirmed that YouTube TV now supports Multiview (or Split Screen) on iPhone and iPad, He also warns that the feature won’t reach Android for a while.
Last week, many Reddit users noticed and reported that YouTube TV for iPhone already supports Multiview. This feature, which arrived on televisions last year, allows users to watch up to four channels at once. Additionally, Multiview recently added another layer of customization for each of the four channels that can be viewed. Of course, on iPhone and iPad, it is accessed from the “Home” tab and is only available with certain games.
The function is not yet as advanced as on televisionsbut it’s still useful for many sports fans, especially since this week March Madness is happening in the United States and up to 4 games can be watched simultaneously.
Multiview is expected to be available on iPhone and iPad via an update to the YouTube TV app for iOS, but there is also a server-side component. On Reddit, YouTube has confirmed that the feature requires version 8.11 of the app.
