YouTube has played us again. What finally seemed like the arrival of PiP mode (something iOS opened up to everyone) without having to pay the subscription prime to the service has been denied once again, returning to the bitter reality of this video service. If you want to watch YouTube in PiP mode, you have to pay.
But faced with the fed up, emerge developers who encircle this “gateway to the field” that YouTube has put in place. I will show you what will probably be your new favorite application, which will allow you watch YouTube videos in PiP mode on iPhone and iPad easily and without paying a dollar.
PiP on YouTube simply by pasting a link
The app was shared by Javi Losana and Twitter and it’s just called X. Its function couldn’t be simpler, you just need to paste the address of a youtube video and you can play it in PiP mode with a button:
The app is also able to play PiP videos from other services like Vimeo, Facebook, TikTok or Instagram, and as you can see in the image, we can also lock the screen to immediately play the video in audio mode to be able to listen to it in the style of a podcast. Works with Safari, Chrome, Brave and other browsers for iOS and iPadOS.
