tvOS 13 finally introduces a Picture in Picture mode, but you may be disappointed by its limitations. Josh Centers explains how to take advantage of it and where it falls down.
I can’t figure out how to use this. Every single show in the TV app that I try to play takes me out to a different app to watch it!
@morwen I had the same experience as you. PIP only worked while I was watching a movie/show from my Library in the Apple TV app. It didn’t work for shows that I tried watching from other linked channels that were in the Up Next category (in the Apple TV app) and it immediately stopped working once I left the app. Essentially, I could watch something from my Library while browsing through or watching previews in the Apple TV app only. I’m guessing that it’d probably work while watching rental movies too.
