It's not PIP, but I'm done talking with you and your buddy.

I’ve seen people doing it for years. I don’t get it personally. Never intended to trigger folks but OP is right IMO. It’s not something hard to implement. Maybe research stats while watching a game? Lots of people bet. I don’t.
Good point, I can see it for stats etc during a game.
But yeah, Just watch it on the bigger screen and use the phone for the stat look up.
And the OP doesn't get it, i'm not disagreeing either.. But if you follow the OP's posts in the past few days (at least what i've seen in a few threads here) it's all Pro Android, and trash Apple.
"My Android can do this, your Apple can't. Apple sucks, Android is great" Is then proven wrong, bashes the poster and trashes apple more.
OP is kinda bringing the arguments on them self.

Fair point. I’ve been here long time. I do agree it should be an option. I loathe Android though.
Although this feature doesn’t seem to be a request by the majority of iPhone users I personally have wanted PIP on iPhones for a long time.
That being said I thing watching 2 vids at the same time is a bit overkill and would probably cause a lot of new threads complaining about battery life lol.

Since the beginning of Android vs iOS (I was there) Android has been push the limits & iOS has prioritized security and stability.
People make their decisions. I think Google is a trash company who lies to their customers. I have friends in law-enforcement that LOVE Android users and loathe Apple security. I still think the functionality should be there but as they have done for a decade, Apple has made decisions to optimize & control the Apple experience. If this is a deal-breaker, Apple isn’t for you. Many are willing to give up features less than 5% of user-base would use to improve a core value, stability. I’m guessing here but point is the same.

I love using this feature on my pixel 2 xl.
But i would really want that on ios at least for the Max. Yes i do have a ipad pro but come on it’s not as convenient to have on a big 6.5 inch screen phone that i can toss in my pocket.

I personally think this is pointless on anything but a tablet.
Granted it can be useful but I rarely used it when I had galaxy phones.

Sorry OP, I might have missed it, but are you an iPhone user or not?
I don’t understand because if you are I can’t figure out why you bought a phone that doesn’t perform the functions that you want, and if you’re not, I don’t understand why you’re here or why you made this thread.

ive owned every iphone from the beginning up to the x. got the note 9 and found this wonderful feature. posted here wondering why this simple feature isn't on ios. simple enough?
apparently a bunch from some very sensitive apple lovers.
and thanks. its pretty good but the camera sucks enough that its almost a deal breaker
This is the reason. If the iPhone got iPad features, that would cannibalize iPad sales.
I use split screen so much on my Note. I have been wanting to come back to iOS, but this really has been keeping me from coming back. Only because I use it that much.
This is an Apple forum. You're not allowed to discuss Android features here no matter how awesome they may be. You're not allowed to have your own opinion. My mid-range Android phone can do split screen apps but it's not as nice as yours. Therefore I don't like that fact and we can't be open to a discussion. I hope you understand. Thank you
My first Samsung Note was the Note 2 (2012) and it had split screen feature before it was in stock android. In 2012 iOS was at version 6.
Can you truly split screen the video or is that the biggest it will get?
And yeah I'd rather watch stuff on my projector but I've found myself using the feature in bed or when I'm out and about. I've never used split screen in my life but now find myself using it much more than I thought I would.
The phone isn’t for lengthy sessions of replying to emails etc. And imagine trying to do that while cutting half the screen off with a video. Ugh.
