In this guide, we will show you a workaround to stop the ‘Music content cannot be played in PiP’ notification in the YouTube iOS app. When it comes to multitasking, Picture in Picture mode is usually at the top of the priority queue for the end users. You could easily send the video being played in a corner of the screen and continue with another app in the foreground. While this functionality has been implemented quite efficiently in the Android ecosystem, the same cannot be said for Apple devices.
In Android, every user has the option to enable the PIP mode, but when it comes to iPhone, then only the Premium members can try out this feature [unless you live in the US]. And that’s not it.

Moreover, even the non-Premium users, who don’t have this feature in the first place are also getting bugged with this prompt. if you are also in the same boat, then this guide will make you aware of a nifty workaround to resolve it. Follow along.
