YouTube's picture-in-picture mode for Android and iOS is now making its way to all users around the world, including those who aren't paying for a Premium subscription. Team YouTube says the feature will pop up in more and more users' accounts over the coming months, so it could take some time to reach most people's accounts. But once it arrives for them, they'll be able to shrink the YouTube video they're playing and continue watching it even after they leave the app. To activate the feature, they simply have to swipe up or press on the home button to close YouTube. The video will keep on playing in a mini player that they can move around on their screen.
