How to use Netflix Picture in Picture (PiP)
Netflix Picture in Picture (PiP) shrinks the video player to a small window so you can keep watching while using other apps on your mobile device.
How it works
Picture-in-picture turns on when you navigate to your device's home screen or switch to another app while Netflix is playing.
You can move or resize the player window by dragging it or using a pinch-to-zoom gesture.
You can pause, fast forward, or rewind playback while in picture-in-picture mode.
To bring back the full-size player, tap the PiP
button. Tap the 
button to stop and close Netflix.
