YouTube TV, which promised to revolutionize the way we watch TV, has some advantages, like the ability to watch multiple channels simultaneously. This feature is called Multiview and went live on smart TVs last year. It will come to mobile devices this year.
YouTube TV to get multi-view feature on Android in the coming months
Google has announced that it has started rolling out the Multiview feature to iPhones and iPads. The feature will be rolled out to Android smartphones and tablets in the coming months. Well, this is a bit disappointing, as Google seems to prioritize Apple’s platforms over its own platforms, while Apple does the opposite. A Redditor showcased (via 9To5Google) how the feature looks on an iPhone.
This feature works from the home tab but only works with select sports channels. Hopefully, Google will add Multiview support for more channels so that people can watch their favorite sports matches alongside a movie or a TV show. Once the feature goes live on Android, you can use it on your Galaxy smartphone or tablet. The feature is already available on Samsung’s smart TVs.
YouTube TV recently introduced a revamped design for the video player UI, which shows sports scores alongside the video. It also introduced the last channel shortcut, similar to TVs, letting you switch between two channels. However, these new features are only available on TVs, not mobile devices.
