PiP still isn't working.
At least it no longer pops up with the music content notice; so that's progress - sort of.

People like you giving their data away to an ad company for free. That's how. Thanks!
Well said. User data about their viewing practices, history, clicks, and so forth, are valuable to an ad company like Google.
same for me. no PiP. I use youtube premium. tried updating the app and logging in and out. no difference.
Has anybody actually gotten this to work in the U.S. yet?
I'm not buying that they've done anything different.

PiP now works on my end, I'm not sure why it's still not working for some. Google has delayed this feature for so long and they can't even implement it properly.
Yes, I finally got an option to turn it on in the app, and now it works as advertised.
Edit: This is obviously something they have made visible in the app by doing something server side, since I'm still on the same app version as I was for my previous posts.

I keep looking for the option in settings on my iPhone, but it hasn't made it to my account yet. 😩
Agreed that Google looks to have continually botched the implementation of this "feature". I've wondered if it's more of a removal of restriction than creating the feature.
Same here. The "feature" is still not enabled in my YouTube app.
they have done a **** job with rolling out stuff. stadia was a complete disaster when it launched. they don't do a good job with organization and execution. this Pip should've been available for years. it was available before but they got rid of it on the app. it only took like 7 years to have the same functionality we used to have on previous models.
Ah! I just tried that and it worked. I wonder if I need to create a new account to start anew.
This is now new to my account. A few days ago, I tried this and it did not work. Now, if I watch a video in incognito mode, PIP works, but as soon as I turn off incognito mode, PIP stops working.
I have the option after downloading the latest iOS YouTube update.
But even with this and the iOS setting both on, it doesn't work.

It just started working when I tried again. I guess since my last post something sorted itself out server-side!
