In a new test, Meta is letting select users keep watching Instagram Reels as a floating window on their devices even after they close the app. Here’s what it looks like.

As spotted by Radu Onescu on Threads, Instagram is prompting select users to “Try Picture in Picture” with a pop-up when they swipe through posts made on Reels:

lockquote class=”text-post-media” data-text-post-permalink=”https://www.threads.com/@oncescuradu/post/DN2xC-A2PZU” data-text-post-version=”0″ id=”ig-tp-DN2xC-A2PZU” style=” background:#FFF; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #00000026; border-radius: 16px; max-width:540px; margin: 1px; min-width:270px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% – 2px); width:calc(100% – 2px);”> lockquote>

The pop-up reads:

lockquote class=”wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow”>
