Some iPhone users can use WhatsApp's picture-in-picture mode for video calls; learn more.

 A fresh story claims that WhatsApp is exploring a native picture-in-picture option for video calls. Since the capability was discovered in an early build of iOS, only some iPhone owners now have access to it. It is unknown if and when WhatsApp will make the aforementioned feature available to all users.



As the name implies, picture-in-picture mode enables users to use other apps while participating in a video call. Picture-in-picture support is already available in apps like YouTube and Google Meet/Hangouts, making multitasking simple and convenient.

According to popular WhatsApp development tracking website WABetaInfo's report, the feature is accessible to some users running the most recent iOS beta build, or version 22.24.0.79.

Naturally, the update and accompanying feature will only be available to TestFlight subscribers, Apple's official beta channel for all things, particularly third-party apps. According to the WhatsApp tracker website, version 2.22.24.79 of the WhatsApp Settings contains this new feature. Version 22.24.0 is claimed to be the TestFlight build.According to the website, beta users who have not yet received the feature should wait for a subsequent update. WhatsApp has not yet made a formal announcement about the creation of such a feature.

In 2015, WhatsApp unveiled voice calling, then in 2016, it unveiled video calling. Despite the fact that one-on-one calls are a given, WhatsApp now enables users to have simultaneous group voice and video chats with up to 32 other users. The call link feature, on the other hand, enables you to create a link and invite people who might not be using WhatsApp. The instant messaging service, which is owned by Mark Zuckerberg's Meta, has added a number of features and updates over time to become more functional and remain current. Over two billion people use WhatsApp every month.
