“Background playback” is behind the premium paywall; NOBODY gets YouTube PIP support on iOS; such a shame.

I repeat, even if you pay for premium you simply can’t do PIP using the official app. You can however use a browser and use PIP that way I think (there used to be some weird workaround but I’m not sure if it still exists).

Edit: I was (happily) wrong! I see now, they added it halfway though 2022 and I needed to go into settings and explicitly enable it. I’m a happy camper now! Thanks for the correction

Premium absolutely does give you PIP on iOS. I took this screenshot just now 😊

I don’t even have premium? I’m on iOS, I can’t keep up with what’s being criticized as real or not.

Seems that you don’t even need Premium!
