Sick of websites making Picture in Picture harder than it should be?
UnblockPiP is a Safari extension that helps you detach web videos into Picture in Picture and keep playback available while you browse, study, work, or switch between apps.
Whether you are watching a lecture, listening to an interview, following a tutorial, or keeping long-form content nearby, UnblockPiP gives you a cleaner way to keep video and audio with you.
Core Features:
Video Detacher
Add a simple Detach Video control to supported web players and open videos in a floating Picture in Picture window.
Background Playback
Keep audio playing while you move between apps or lock your display, depending on the website and iOS playback behavior.
Safari Extension Setup
Enable UnblockPiP once in Safari, allow it on websites, and use the Detach control when a video is available.
Recent Videos
Quickly return to videos you opened or shared with the app.
Private by Design
UnblockPiP runs locally on your device. No ad injection, no background telemetry, and no remote tracking.

Pay once and use UnblockPiP without another subscription for basic playback utility.

2. Tap the Page Menu in the address bar.
