WhatsApp Gets Picture-in-Picture Mode for Video Calls on iOS

Apple

Picture-in-picture (PiP) mode can be extremely useful for WhatsApp video calls as it allows users to multitask while they are on a call. With PiP mode, users can minimize the video call window and continue to use other apps on their device, while still being able to see and hear the video call.

For example, if a user is on a WhatsApp video call with a friend but needs to check their calendar or send an email, they can use PiP mode to minimize the call window and open other apps. This way, they can continue their call and carry on with their work or other activities simultaneously.

WhatsApp’s 23.3.77 update is rolling out the PiP mode for iPhones

WhatsApp has recently made Picture-in-Picture (PiP) support for video calls available to all users worldwide who have an iPhone running on iOS 12.0 or later. This amazing feature was initially launched for beta users back in December and is now rolling out for everyone, according to Apple’s website.

The latest WhatsApp version 23.3.77 has PiP support for video calls, which means that you can now multitask during your video calls by minimizing the WhatsApp app. This way, you can continue using other apps while still being on the call.

But wait, there’s more! The update also includes a new feature that allows you to add captions when sending documents. This is a great way to add context or provide additional information to the documents you are sharing with others. So, go ahead and update your WhatsApp to enjoy these exciting new features!

There is no precise number on how many people use WhatsApp on an iPhone as WhatsApp does not provide a breakdown of its user base by device. However, it is estimated that there are over 2 billion WhatsApp users worldwide across all platforms, including both Android and iOS devices. Since iPhones are a popular choice among smartphone users, it is likely that a significant portion of WhatsApp’s user base uses the app on an iPhone.
