However, this functionality seems to be giving a tricky time to iPhone users who are on the latest firmware (iOS 16.1 Beta). Many users have complained that the YouTube PIP mode isn’t working on iOS 16.1 Beta 1 and iOS 16.1 Beta 2. The PIP mode essentially turns grey with a forever loading icon. As far as the culprit behind this problem, for once, it isn’t the iOS update but the third-party app, i.e. YouTube. The Picture in Picture mode has been tested across different apps in iOS 16.1 Beta 2 and they seem to be working well, so the fingers are being pointed at the search engine giant’s offering. With that said, there is a workaround that will help you fix the YouTube PIP mode not working in iOS 16.1 Beta issue.
