LONDON: Google revealed that YouTube will roll out the picture-in-picture feature for iPhones and iPads, which allows users to watch videos in a floating window while using other apps.

"We recognise this has been a slow roll out for a highly requested feature, and want to thank everyone who shared feedback during experiments and wait," Google announced in a blog post.
