With Videos In PiP (V.I.PiP), you can finally watch any video 🍿 from apps that restrict it (including YouTube) and do other things at the same time on your iPhone or iPad. If you have any suggestions, please let me know 🙏🏻
Hi everyone ! I’m Maxime, the developer behind V.I.PiP 😊
I’ve made this application because I still can’t believe that YouTube won’t enable Picture in Picture in the official application.
There are other ways to activate PiP (through the website, but it doesn’t always work, especially on iPhone, and it still requires you to juggle around Safari and the application).
A couple of other applications are offering the feature on the App Store, but this one has a few additions that I wanted in such an application :
- The ability to activate / deactivate pasteboard check to automatically open the link you copied if you open V.I.PiP
- The ability to PiP from Safari as well
- The ability to PiP from an in-app web browser (that allows you, on some devices, to log in into YouTube and sync videos watched in V.I.PiP with your account for instance)
- A simpler interface
(And its the cheapest app as well 💸).
Let me know if you have any idea or just if you like the product 😘
Good app, but doesn't worth $1 when you can do same using Siri Shortcuts (Apple automation app) even with more features than your app.
Here is one shortcut: https://routinehub.co/shortcut/6...
@razb Hello Raz :). Thanks for your comment, and you're of course free to use a Siri Shortcut if that fits you.
You're correct that you can achieve the same result with a Siri Shortcut, but it's not as easy as downloading an app on the Store.
First, you need to know about the Shortcuts app. Then you have to think that they might be a shortcut for this. Since it's not in the Shortcuts app gallery, you'll have to find it on the web. Install it from a third-party site. Install another third-party application (scriptable) to get the shortcut to work. Regularly watch for updates to the script.
That might not be worth $1 to you, but it might be for some less tech-oriented users.
Thanks for your input and have a nice day !
