I recently noticed that the little three dot icon has disappeared, which I used to activate the windowing feature on my device. I frequently watch YouTube while keeping an eye on my text messages, conveniently displayed in the Messages app on the right. Unfortunately, it seems that I can no longer do this seamlessly.
Even though I checked the Settings and found the windowing feature is enabled, there is no visible icon to toggle it on or off. Instead, when I open YouTube, it takes over the entire screen, and there appears to be no way to superimpose another app over it or position it alongside. I’m using a Magic Keyboard and an Apple Pencil, yet I haven’t had any luck finding the right buttons or gestures to access this new windowing feature.
It’s becoming quite frustrating since I relied on this functionality for multitasking. Additionally, the guidance in Settings isn’t particularly helpful either. It includes a small animation that fails to clearly explain how to utilize this feature effectively.
As a result, I find myself needing to exit YouTube entirely in order to send messages, which disrupts my viewing experience. I would appreciate any advice or troubleshooting tips to help me resolve this issue. It would be great to restore the ability to text while continuing to enjoy my videos without interruptions.
