- In August 2024, Google removed YouTube Picture-in-Picture (PiP) functionality from Google Messages.
- However, the latest Messages beta reveals that Google has started adding back new text strings and activity support for launching a YouTube player within messages.
- Although we managed to launch the YouTube PiP window, it remains non-functional until Google’s implementation is fully enabled.
Google has strongly refocused its efforts on the Google Messages app, and it shows. The texting app has been receiving a slew of features these past few months, and when it rains, it pours. We’ve now spotted clues indicating that Google is working on bringing back YouTube PiP support to Google Messages, a feature that was quietly and unceremoniously killed last year.
