Google Chrome's New Picture-in-Picture Feature Enhances Multitasking on Android

Google's Chrome browser is now making multitasking easier for Android users with the addition of minimized in-app tabs. This new feature, which is available with Chrome 124 and rolling out with Chrome 125, allows users to shrink webpages into picture-in-picture (PiP) windows by clicking the downward-facing chevron next to the back button when opening links in Chrome Custom Tabs. These minimized tabs can be docked to the left/right edge of the screen and resized, making it easier for users to keep open multiple tasks without having to switch between apps.

The new PiP windows are particularly useful when opening links within apps like Gmail or other messaging services. By keeping the webpage open as a floating window, users can quickly refer back to the information without having to leave the app they're currently using. This feature is expected to enhance the in-app web browsing experience and make multitasking more seamless.

Google hopes that other browser makers will adopt similar functionality, as this change could become a standard for Android apps. The company emphasizes that this new feature enables users to effortlessly transition between native app and web content, making it a valuable addition for both developers and users.

Google Chrome becomes a 'picture-in-picture' app

TechCrunch Sarah Perez Wednesday, 29 May 2024 18:00
  • Unique Points
    • Google Chrome is introducing a new feature called Minimized Custom Tabs that allows users to move between a native app and web content with a tap, turning the Custom Tab into a small, picture-in-picture window that floats above the native app content.
    • The feature focuses on the use of Custom Tabs, which is an Android browser feature that gives app developers a way to add a customized browser experience directly in their app.
    • By turning the Custom Tab into a picture-in-picture window, shifting to the web experience may feel more natural and more like you’re still inside the native app. The change could also be useful for developers who are pointing their customers to a website for subscriptions or accounts, as it makes it easier for users to move back and forth between the website and the native app.
    • The new feature is rolling out in the latest version of Chrome (M124) and will be automatically applied anywhere developers are already using Chrome’s Custom Tabs. Google hopes other browser makers will adopt similar functionality.
