Shorts in Pip (picture in picture) mode doesn't work

[twinko]

Hi everyone,

I patched to the last version 18.19.35 today.
When I start a normal video PIP works flawless but when i try the same with shorts, it closes immediately.
I read through settings for 30 min now but can't find it. Can anybody help?

You may be missing the minimized playback patch.

Does background playback work for you (when it's enabled in profile pic > Settings > background)?

Hey, yes its enabled and as I wrote in my initial post normal videos work like a charm just shorts doesn't.

Normal video:

I repatched the apk to be sure, definitly have minimized playback installed.

PiP is disabled for shorts.

Hey thank you for the feedback, do you have an explanation why it's disabled?

[oSumAtrIX]

It was intentionally disabled because it was glitching in PiP mode. Is it available on the unpatched app?
