The picture in picture (PiP) will be mostly used in a multi-window mode and will allow all the users to be able to watch videos on the corner of their screen while being able to navigate through maps or any other app that they wish to use.

Whatsapp is one of the most popular apps in the world as of now and it aims to reach more and more people in the coming months. There are unconfirmed reports doing the rounds in tech circles that Facebook-owned company will soon be introducing ads on its platform.
It was also speculated that Whatsapp co-founder Jan Koum resigned amidst privacy concerns on Whatsapp which could be directly related to ads and feature that Facebook and Instagram actively use to target people with relevant ads for them. The changes could also allow advertisers to feed lists of phone numbers into Facebook’s advertising system, known as custom audiences, and find new people to target with ads.
