YouTube Picture in Picture is a sought-after feature in iOS and iPadOS. It allows you to watch your favorite YouTubers while multitasking on your device and performing other tasks. PIP is also an essential feature if you regularly follow tutorials or guides on your device. With PIP, you can easily watch your tutorial or guide while performing the necessary steps on your device. However, the technology is not perfect and you may encounter instances where PIP does not work for you. Here are some solutions you can try to fix PIP in YouTube on your iOS or iPadOS device.

The first thing you’ll want to do is make sure you have an active premium account with YouTube. While PIP is a free feature for Android users, iPhone users will still need to pay for a premium subscription in order to get PIP. YouTube plans to roll out PIP for free to every iOS user worldwide in the near future, but for now, a premium subscription is the only way to get PIP in YouTube on iOS.

► Buy YouTube Premium

If your premium subscription has expired, that is likely the reason why PIP is not working on your device. Additionally, if you are signed in with multiple Google accounts on your device, make sure that you are signed in with the correct Google account where you purchased your subscription. This could be another reason why PIP is not working on your iOS or iPadOS device.
