Great for: - Anyone who wants to chat or browse other apps while a video plays - Anyone who wants to listen to audio with the screen off - Anyone who wants videos organized into folders - Anyone who wants to save a video by simply pasting its URL Features - Picture in Picture playback - Background audio playback (with lock screen controls) - Import videos from the camera roll and organize them into folders - Paste a URL to download and save a video - Cross-folder playback queue (playlist) and per-video notes - Adjustable playback speed (0.3x-2x) - One-tap 90-degree screen rotation - Passcode lock - Dark mode support We're keeping iPlayer simple while continuing to add small features that make watching videos alongside other apps more comfortable.
