Picture-in-Picture Video Mode (Newer iPads Only)
Ever been wanting to watch a video on your iPad while doing something else at the same time? You now can — and it’s relatively easy, assuming you have a newer iPad (iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 2 or later)
Here’s how: start watching a video in Safari. Tap the video with one finger to bring up the control interface — look for the icon that looks like a box within a box. Tap that, and bam — it’ll float into a new, independent box that’ll stick around even as you switch around from app to app. You can drag the video to place it in any corner.
Third party developers are able to access this functionality in their video-enabled apps, so expect it to roll out to other apps soon.
