Telegram: How To Fix Picture In Picture Mode On Android And iPhone?

To fix Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode on Android and iPhone's Telegram and other apps, follow these steps:

Android

  1. Ensure PiP mode is enabled in Android Settings and the specific app.

    • Open Settings, select Apps & Notifications, App Management, then choose the app.
    • Enable Picture-in-Picture.
  2. Clear app cache.

    • Open Settings, select Apps & Notifications, choose the app, then Storage & Cache.
    • Clear cache (does not remove your account data or preferences).
  3. Update your app and Android OS.

    • Open Google Play Store, check for updates for your app and OS.
  4. Restart your phone.

    • Press and hold the power button, select Restart.

iPhone and iPad (iOS)

  1. Enable PiP mode in Settings and the app.

    • Open Settings, select General, then Picture-in-Picture.
    • Toggle "Start PiP Automatically" on.
  2. Ensure app updates and reboot the device.

    • Press and hold the Side button orvolume buttons simultaneously.
    • Swipe the slider to power off.
    • Turn on your device by pressing and holding the Side button.
  3. Disable gestures if necessary.

    • Open Settings, select System settings, then System navigation.
    • Choose Button or 3-button navigation instead of gestures.

For Telegram specifically, also check the app settings for PiP mode enablement. These steps should address the issue, but remember that some apps (e.g., Disney+) may not support PiP without premium accounts. On YouTube, the free PiP mode is only available in the United States, and requires a YouTube Premium subscription elsewhere.
