When Apple introduced the new generation of the operating system to the world last Monday iOS with serial number 14, usurped most of the attention for themselves widgety in it. This is undoubtedly the most visible feature of the system, which can also make using the phone very pleasant. However, the longer iOS The more I use the 14, the more another feature from it comes to the forefront of my interests – specifically the Picture in Picture function. 

Pro For owners of iPads, Macs, and indeed many other electronic toys, Picture-in-Picture is nothing groundbreaking, as it has been appearing in the operating systems of various products for many years. Perhaps that is why its implementation into iOS 14 didn't cause much of a stir. However, it can already be said that this is a big shame. If you often watch videos or listen to music on your phone, you will love Picture in Picture. TooneYou will be able to continue consuming multimedia content even when you need to do something on the go. Messengeru, check email, or quickly scroll through social networks. 

At the moment, Picture in Picture is only running via Safari, but it is more than likely that various multimedia applications, led by YouTube, Twitch and many others, will also incorporate it, which will make the usability of the gadget even greater. The great thing is that it already runs very reliably and, in addition, allows a relatively wide range of adjustments to the playback window. You can play with both the size to your liking and its location. Everything is based on control gestures that we are used to from other parts of the system, thanks to which controlling Picture in Picture is no problem. 

To be honest, more sophisticated multitasking was something I was looking forward to. iOS 14 I really wanted it and I'm glad that Apple has heard this (and not only) my request. At the same time, I hope that Picture in Picture is just the first piece of the advanced multitasking known from iPads coming to iPhones. After all, being able to run two applications side by side (not on top of each other, as is the case with Picture in Picture) and work with them fully would not be a problem in today's era of large displays. Pro Personally, the introduction of similar functions would be a reason to purchase the model Max, which would be perfect for similar use thanks to its large display. Let's hope that Apple will really go in a similar direction and please its users in the fall by introducing a small revolution of windows in the system.
