Multitasking on smartphones has never been more robust, and PiP mode is among the most useful functions that allows you to accomplish more at once. If you own a Samsung Galaxy A56, A36, or A26, you will be glad to learn that switching on PiP mode is simple, quick, and can make using your device significantly better.
Picture-in-Picture allows supported apps to turn into a small floating window that stays on top of other apps, so you can multitask without losing sight of what’s important. It’s a feature that comes with Android 12 and Android 13, which these Galaxy A series phones operate on, but it isn’t always enabled by default.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to successfully enable Picture In Picture on Samsung Galaxy A26, A36, & A56.
