In 2023, WhatsApp finally gets a new feature we’ve been waiting for for a long time: picture-in-picture support! This allows you to open and use other apps while on a video call. The conversation then appears in a small window on the screen, as you go through it in its entirety Iphone scripts.
New WhatsApp feature 2023: Picture in Picture
Earlier this month, the picture-in-picture feature was spotted by committed WhatsApp beta testers. Now Meta — the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp — has announced itself, via an article on Facebook website. It says that they are currently testing the new feature, and that WhatsApp hopes to launch it in 2023.
Picture-in-picture support is something WhatsApp users have been waiting for for a long time. Although it’s somewhat surprising that it took so long, especially since the app has 2 billion users and apps like FaceTime have had the functionality for the longest. So it remains to be guessed as to why it took so long.
