WhatsApp has been making very major updates this year to its Android and iOS applications. The Facebook-owned instant messaging giant is here now with a new update for its Android beta version. Notably, a few weeks ago WhatsApp had been spotted testing the picture-in-picture functionality for its Android Beta version. The picture-in-picture functionality would allow WhatsApp users to watch videos shared from Instagram, Facebook and Youtube on the app itself. With this feature, users won’t have to exit the WhatsApp application, and they won’t need to open the shared link on a third-party app to watch it, they will be able to do it on the chat itself.

In the previous update for Android, WhatsApp had also brought another handy feature which is the swipe to reply functionality within the chat. This quick little feature was only available in iOS before this, and Android users had to tap and hold on to messages within the chat to reply to the text. Now with this feature, Android users of WhatsApp will be able to respond to messages by merely sliding on them swiftly.
WhatsApp Picture in Picture Mode
The latest Android version of WhatsApp which is the version 2.18.310 brings the Picture in Picture functionality to the application. Using this feature, WhatsApp Android users will be able to able to watch a video via a Youtube, Facebook or Instagram link in a popup window. The feature will also allow links from streaming site Streamable for this feature. Using the PiP feature, users will be able to chat simultaneously while they watch the video in the chat screen itself. Further, users will be able to drag the video popup window on the screen, and they will also be able to resize it.
