YouTube Details 9 Fixes for iPhone PiP Issues on iOS 15 and Later

Summary
9 troubleshooting steps target YouTube Picture in Picture failures on iPhone, starting with Apple’s “Start PiP Automatically” switch and YouTube’s own Playback setting.
iOS 15.0 or later is required, and PiP starts only after a video is already playing and the user leaves the app by swiping up or pressing Home.
Premium rules explain many failures: non-music videos and Shorts support PiP without Premium, while music videos, Art Tracks, children’s songs and song covers require a Premium account.
Account mix-ups and travel can also block Premium-only PiP, since benefits may not apply outside the country where the subscription was purchased.
If settings and eligibility check out, YouTube advises updating iOS and the app, then offloading or reinstalling YouTube and reviewing Screen Time or device-management restrictions.
