TikTok announced a new feature today. Users can now watch videos in a small window while using other apps. This feature is called picture-in-picture. It aims to make TikTok more flexible for daily use.

People can now start a TikTok video. They can then minimize the TikTok app. The video keeps playing in a small window. This window floats above other phone screens. Users can move this small window around. They can also resize it. The video sound continues playing too.

This change helps users multitask. Someone might watch a cooking tutorial. They can then switch to their recipe app. The tutorial stays visible. Another person might browse messages. They can still keep watching their favorite creator. Viewers no longer lose their place in longer videos. They can pause the floating window anytime. Closing it returns them to the TikTok app.

The feature supports many common activities. People can watch videos while checking emails. They can follow along while looking at maps. It works during online shopping searches too. TikTok believes this improves the viewing experience. It offers more convenience. Users stay engaged with content longer.
