Reliance Jio has updated its OTT services app ‘JioTV’ for Android with Picture-in-Picture mode. Which means, you can now continue watching JioTV while browsing other apps, chatting and more. The company has pushed a 9.05MB update, and the latest JioTV for Android (version 5.6.1) can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
As per
JioTV app changelog, the Picture-in-Picture is available only for
Android 8.0 Oreo and above devices. We also tried the new feature and it works flawless. Previously the app only allowed Picture-in-Picture mode for within app browsing, and now a small window running the video overlays on all apps. You can also disable the feature with just a toggle switch in JioTV app settings.

Reliance Jio users and it is one of the early app in India to have provided LIVE video content from 640 channels across languages like English, Hindi, Bengali, Malayalam, and more.
