With Picture in Picture, you can use FaceTime or watch a video while you use other apps.

A presentation app is open on the left side of the screen, a Messages conversation is open on the right, and a small FaceTime window appears in the lower-left corner.

When using FaceTime or watching a video, tap the Picture in Picture Start button or press the Home button (on an iPad with a Home button).

The video window scales down to a corner of your screen so you can see the Home Screen and open other apps. With the video window showing, you can do any of the following:

  • Resize the video window: To make the small video window larger, pinch open. To shrink it again, pinch closed.

  • Show and hide controls: Tap the video window.

  • Move the video window: Drag it to a different corner of the screen.

  • Hide the video window: Drag it off the left or right edge of the screen.

  • Close the video window: Tap the Close button.

  • Return to a full FaceTime or video screen: Tap the Picture in Picture button in the small video window.
