Picture-in-Picture Mode Now Available on JioTV When you open the JioTV app page on Google Play Store, you will find that Reliance Jio has listed the latest features of the app. On the top, we get to see the mention of the picture-in-picture mode which will allow the users to continue their chatting, browsing or anything else while the video plays in the thumbnail. This way, users will be able to exit the JioTV app while the video continues to play in the small hovering screen. However, JioTV has also noted that the picture-in-picture functionality will only work on phones with Android 8.0 and above. While you install the application, you also might have to allow the picture-in-picture functionality in the settings for the JioTV app. On doing that, you will be able to shrink the screen while playing a video next time to turn to picture-in-picture mode. It is also worth noting that a few months back, in 2018, WhatsApp had also received a picture-in-picture update which enabled the users to watch videos from Facebook, Instagram and YouTube in picture-in-picture without needing to keep the chat window open. Users could keep chatting, while the video was playing.
