WhatsApp for iPhone – Picture-in-Picture support for video calls

WhatsApp for iPhone – WhatsApp, Facebook’s popular messaging app, recently added Picture-in-Picture (PiP) support for video calls to its iPhone app. This new feature enables users to proceed their video call while exploring other apps or using other characteristics on their iPhones, making multitasking during a call much more convenient.

Previously, a WhatsApp user had to exit the call and end the conversation if they wanted to use another app while on a video call. Users who have PiP support can simply press the home button while on a call, and the video will keep playing in a small window on their screen. They can then use other apps or features on their iPhone while still seeing and hearing their conversation.

The PiP feature can be used for both one-on-one and group video calls, allowing users to converse with multiple people at the same time. This feature is especially useful for businesses because it enables them to hold video conferences with clients or colleagues while still accessing their other work-related apps and features.

WhatsApp’s PiP support integrates with other iOS features like Siri and Apple’s Do Not Disturb method. For example, if a user receives a message while on a video call, Siri will read it out without interfering with the video call. Furthermore, even if a user activates Do Not Disturb mode during a call, they will be able to see and hear their conversation in the PiP window.

Users must have a device with the most recent version of the app (version 23.3.77), which can be installed from the App Store, to use the PiP feature on WhatsApp for iPhone.
