WhatsApp will be  soon new mode  picture-in-picture  mode to all Android users




WhatsApp has introduced the picture-in-picture mode with the latest version of its Android app. This feature will allow users to watch video content from third-party apps within WhatsApp, without the need to move outside a chat window. This update has been available on iOS since early in the year, picture-in-picture mode was initially introduced in the platform’s Android beta in October.



Through the latest Android version of WhatsApp, users will not be redirected to external pages, if they click on video links sent from YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram, among others. When a link from a third-party video link appears on WhatsApp, one can find the video card with a blurred version of the thumbnail image, as well as the platform logo.


On tapping the link, the Picture-in-picture mode makes the video played over the top half of the chat window, which users can choose to convert to full-screen viewing, while users can also operate the video timeline bar below, to scroll .

While the Facebook-owned platform is expected to expand support across more platforms, major social media platforms have been included for PiP mode. Users can check for WhatsApp version 2.18.380 through the Google Play Store, or consider updating their app to use the same. This mode can be used for both individual chats and group chats.
