Stop letting websites lock your video screen. UnblockPiP turns web videos into a floating mini-window so you can multi-task across your phone or iPad. Watch tutorials while taking notes, keep lectures open while browsing, or listen to long-form interviews with your screen turned off. If a video plays in Safari, UnblockPiP lets you pop it out - even on websites that try to block standard floating playback. What You Can Do Pop Out Any Video: Shrink web videos into a floating window that stays on top while you text, work, scroll, or switch between apps. Listen with Your Screen Locked: Keep audio playing in the background when you switch apps or turn off your screen—perfect for interviews, podcasts, and video lectures. One-Tap Control: A simple button appears right on web video players. Tap it once to pop the video out instantly. Quick History: Easily jump back to recently popped-out videos without searching for the webpage again. 100% Private: Operates entirely on your device. Zero ads, zero tracking, and zero personal data collected. Pay Once, Own Forever: No recurring subscriptions or hidden paywalls. Setup in 3 Fast Steps Open Safari and tap the Page Menu icon in the address bar. Tap Manage Extensions and toggle UnblockPiP on. Grant permission for the websites you visit, then tap the new Detach button on any video.
