Meta has started rolling out major iOS updates. Spotted this week , WhatsApp version 23.3.77 finally adds picture-in-picture support for video calling. It’s a feature iOS users of Meta’s chat app have been asking for a while, and it’s how the company started the tests at the end of last year.
As with PiP modes on other platforms, WhatsApp will minimize your video call while you’re browsing another app, allowing you to multitask while still seeing the person you’re chatting with on the service. If you can’t access PiP right away, Meta says the feature and other improvements introduced by WhatsApp’s latest update will roll out “in the coming weeks.”
Speaking of other features, WhatsApp 23.3.77 also lets you add captions to documents you send through the app. Additionally, Meta has tweaked the group chat settings, allowing you to add longer topics and descriptions to better describe what your chat groups are about. There’s also a new option to create an avatar that you can use for your profile photo and stickers.
