Describe the bug

If you have the PiP mode on and then, for example, a video is playing and then you swipe to the homescreen, the video stops playing. It would be nice if this would continue.

Is that possible?

On the other hand, I don't understand the meaning of this function

Instructions to reproduce

For example, open TikTok and go into Picture and Picture Mode. And then swipe to the Homescreen.

What version of LiveContainer and iOS are you using?

3.6.56

Verify steps

  • I downloaded LiveContainer from releases / actions section or LiveContainer's AltStore source.
  • I have the latest LiveContainer.
  • I installed LiveContainer through AltStore/SideStore/TrollStore or I'm confident that I signed LiveContainer correctly with all required entitlements.

Other info

You can put games or anything on PiP, not just video playback apps. Plus those who wants to read subtitle/live comments when watching video in PiP.

But how can someone read live comments or subtitles when the app in PiP mode pauses and stops moving?
