WhatsApp for the iPhone: video chats get picture-in-picture function

A picture-in-picture feature in which the other person is at a video call in a small window, WhatsApp has been offering for a long time. What’s new is that one can now use other apps during the WhatsApp call, “without stopping your video”, as WhatsApp writes in the App Store. Previously, you had to stay on Messenger, otherwise the video call would end.
