Instagram tests Picture-In-Picture viewing for reels

Instagram is examining the feature of a new image-in-film to visit the reel, the company confirmed Tuesday to TechCrunch. The feature allows users to see reels in a small, floating window on their screen when browsing other applications to allow multitasking.

The feature was marked by the first app researcher Radu OneseskuThe Users with part of the test will see a pop-up to inform them about the new features and how to turn it on.

Although the picture-in-picture is great for multitasking, it is also likely to hold on to its era, especially for long videos Spans to shrinkThe For example, if someone comes across a long reel, they can play it in the background when doing other things like a text or browsing.

Applications like Tikatok and YouTube have support for image-in-paintings for some time.

Adding similar features on Instagram can give creators a better opportunity to hold the audience for their long content. And for Instagram, it means more time to spend on his app.

The introduction of the test followed the comments made by Instagram Head a few months ago Adam MosesThe one who suggested that the feature could come soon. At that time, Moses said that he would talk to the team and see if we could find something “in response to the question asking:” When will IG give pipes like TT and YT (photo in the picture)? “

Instagram is examining the feature with a small group to start. Like any test feature, it is unclear when or when Instagram plans to roll it more widely.
