Hi all, until recently picture-in-picture worked just fine for Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime Video. Now it just closes the app when I attempt to use another app simultaneously.  I've tried all recommendations on here - checked the permissions with p-I-p settings, cleared cache and data of apps, removed battery optimisation of those apps, uninstalled/reinstalled apps. Any other ideas on why this might be happening? Thanks for any help!

Have you tried clearing the cache partition of the phone? 

 

Press and hold the Power key, tap Power off, and then tap OK.
Press and hold the Power key and Up Volume key at the same time.
Release the Power key when the Samsung logo appears.
Release the Volume keys when the Android image appears.
Press the Volume keys to highlight Wipe cache partition.
Press the Power key to select.
Once “Cache wipe complete” appears, press the Power key to select Reboot system now.
The device restarts once the wipe is finished.

the picture in picture feature is not working for the video call feature. 
like when i use it for instagram and whatsapp video call, it doesn't work anymore... 

i think it has something to do with android 10, and the navigation bar interferes with the picture in picture as well, can you please tell me the solution for this?

This did not work for me. Just went to settings, apps, Netflix, Amazon, etc, cleared the cache there and pip worked.

The suggestion of the on and off and volume buttons didn't work for me. Just go to settings, apps, open the app, clear cache button and close it. PIP starts working again.

I cleared the cache for youtube but didn't work. When i try to do the picture in picture for youtube, the player goes under and out of the frame. Then my whole screen starts lagging, goes blurry , and the touch interface doesn't work. I wish I could video capture and show you guys. I will have to restart or turn the phone off for it it to stop messing with the touch
