The functionality allows users to detach a video from the YouTube application on iOS devices and continue playback in a small, resizable window that floats on top of other applications. As an illustration, an individual could watch a video while simultaneously browsing the web or composing an email.
This feature offers a significant enhancement to multitasking capabilities on mobile devices. Its implementation streamlines the user experience, enabling uninterrupted access to video content without sacrificing the ability to interact with other applications. The introduction of this capability addresses a demand for greater flexibility in media consumption on portable devices.
