User Reviews

PiPifier is widely praised for enabling YouTube PiP in Safari without Premium, with easy setup and an ad-free experience. It’s reliable across sites and helpful for multitasking. Common drawbacks include activation problems, dropped iOS 12 support, limited background playback outside Safari, and privacy-related permission concerns.
Pros
  • Enables PiP in Safari for YouTube and other sites without requiring YouTube Premium
  • Easy to use, reliable, and free of bloat
  • No ads and clear instructions, offering good value
  • Allows multitasking by watching videos in PiP while using other apps
  • Works across both the Safari extension and the app/website versions
Cons
  • Activation/enabling issues prevent some users from turning the extension on
  • iOS 12 support has been dropped, making it unusable on older devices
  • Background PiP is limited; often only works when Safari is the active app
  • Privacy/data-permission prompts and concerns about reading/altering webpages

Neither the extensions nor the share method would allow me to enable pipifier! Was really hoping this would be good since i'd heard so many good things about

This is absolutely PERFECT!! I can play Roblox on it, and listen to music with a tap!! I love this, now I can sing more.

Easy to use and works just as expected! Would like an option to "auto" PiP if possible - popping a video out into pip automatically when changing tabs or leaving safari.
