After being in beta for a couple of months, picture-in-picture mode during video calls on WhatsApp is now widely available. Draw a floating window with your video call over other apps, when the app is minimized. The feature is part of the iOS version v23.3.77 which has just been released.
Along with PiP, the changelog mentions a few other updates. You can add captions while sending documents, create custom avatars and use them as stickers in chats. Support for longer descriptions for groups is also added. A phased rollout should bring new features to all users.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is working on a switch for sending high-quality images. Instead of the standard compression, you can opt for the HD version which applies a lighter compression.
