One if the new features in apple’s iOS 9 OS is a new picture in picture mode, this allows you to view a video or have a FaceTime call on your iPad whilst viewing other content on your device.
The iOS 9 picture in picture mode only supports Apple’s video applications or videos that are played through Apple’s Safari browser.
Now developer Adam Bell has hacked the picture in picture mode in apple’s new mobile OS, to basically allow you to show anything in this mode, in the video below we can see the game Doom running in the picture in picture mode.
According to Adam Bell this was done without any jailbreaking and he used the public API to enable this feature in iOS 9.
iOS 9’s Picture-in-Picture mode is super boring, so I made it play @DOOM instead! 😀 (Done with public API!) https://t.co/fctrnls5w3
