Most of Google’s recent development efforts have shown beta Bloods for pre -installed messages app on a group of Android devices as Messaging and RCS Client. The support for RCS helps to remain mostly with the most famous chat apps that have features such as reading receipts and support for media sharing.

The link preview is a feature that we associate with chat apps, and messages are not exempt. When you shared the video with a recipient, you had the option to tap the link and open it in a mini player by last year so that the app or the conversation could start to look there. The pipe allowed smooth multi -tasking, but Google quietly removed it from messages in August.
Now, on the application researcher and Tipster Assembly Android Authority Future updates possibly found solid evidence of this feature. Messages Beta version 20250319 contain some strings referring to YouTube, in which cement hopes Google can resurrect the PIP player soon.
The Hour is on the horizon
A timeline is not yet clear

The tipster messages have been able to reset the YouTube player using the related activity toggle for the app, though the toggle will not be available for most end users. However, the video does not run yet as Google still needs to enable this feature internally. However, with all the ingredients built and ready, it would not be surprising if Google sends back to Google YouTube PIP player with the next update.
