Keeping YouTube videos playing while browsing other apps on your iPhone can be a convenient way to multitask. However, it can also be annoying when you want to focus on something else and the video keeps playing in a small window on your screen. Fortunately, there are several easy ways to minimize YouTube videos on your iPhone so that you can continue listening to the audio without having to watch the video.
One way to minimize a YouTube video is to use the pinch-to-zoom gesture. Simply place two fingers on the video and pinch them together to shrink the video down. The video will continue to play in a small window in the bottom corner of the screen. You can then drag the window around the screen to position it wherever you want. To return the video to full screen, simply tap on the window.
Another way to minimize a YouTube video is to use the Picture-in-Picture mode. This mode allows you to watch videos in a floating window while you use other apps. To enable Picture-in-Picture mode, simply tap on the Picture-in-Picture icon in the bottom right corner of the video player. The video will then shrink down to a small window. You can then drag the window around the screen to position it wherever you want. To return the video to full screen, simply tap on the window. If you don’t see the Picture-in-Picture icon, it means that your device does not support this feature.
