After being available since 2022, the latest version of Google Messages Android beta suggests that the company removed one of the prominent features of the app, the YouTube Picture-in-Picture player.
Google introduced a major overhaul for its Messages app back in 2022, which included the new icon that is still in use today. The update also introduced the YouTube Picture-In-Picture (PiP) feature to the app. However, just a couple of years later, the latest Google Messages Android beta app indicates the removal of the YouTube PiP feature.
The YouTube PiP feature in Google Messages allowed users to see the preview of the thumbnail and play videos in a floating PiP window by tapping on the video link.
