Google Messages could revive its YouTube miniplayer
Reinstating with full honors
Most of Google's recent development efforts have shown up in beta builds for the Messages app preinstalled on a bunch of Android devices as a messaging and RCS client. Support for RCS helps the app stay on par with most of the popular chat apps with features like read receipts and support for media sharing. However, link sharing for YouTube videos recently took a downturn when Google removed the Picture-in-picture (PiP) media player. Now, code in a beta version suggests the player may return shortly.
