WhatsApp Beta is rolling out PiP 2.0 mode for Android userAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
June 21 (AZINS) WhatsApp might release the Picture-in-Picture second version later this month. The social networking app had reported earlier this year that it is working on improving the functionality of picture-in-picture (PiP) mode.
The first version of PiP mode had one significant limitation, where videos would stop playing the moment a WhatsApp user switched to other applications even when the app wasn't closed. PiP 2.0 plans to fix this issue across Android users. The development of a new feature in WhatsApp was first reported by WABetainfo, a blog that reports developments and upcoming features of the messaging app.
This feature would be available for all users who are using the latest WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.19.177.

Other than this, WhatsApp is also working on a new feature which will ensure users accidentally doesn't end up sending images to the wrong contact. This new feature will show the name of the person with whom you are sharing images.
Earlier this month, WhatsApp had decided to add a feature that will show advertisements on the Status tab, just like in Instagram.
