YouTube TV subscribers can now watch several programs at once on iPhone and iPad, thanks to support for Multiview rolling out, Google has confirmed (via 9to5Google).
Multiview lets users watch four different cable channels on-screen at the same time. The feature works from the "Home" tab, which includes stream options like "Top Picks for You" and "Watch in Multiview," but it only works for sports events.
Subscribers on iPhone and iPad will need to update to version 8.11 or later to access Multivew. According to YouTube TV, "device and content restrictions apply" for Multiview, and it is limited to "pre-selected games only."
A Basic YouTube TV plan costs $72.99 a month, and there are various add-on packages available such as NBA League Pass, which is currently $49.99 for the entire season. YouTube TV said it plans to launch Multiview on Android in the coming months.
Whenever I watch YouTubeTV I always think to myself, I wish I could watch one stream I want combined with three other streams I can’t specify and don’t care about.
Google has always been weird about this and somehow prioritized Apple products with their apps. They've also blocked other companies from making their own apps to use Youtube for example when Google has refused to make an app for that platform. Its really weird.
Because the iOS ecosystem has the far higher ROI figure. Android is a second-class platform, even Google knows it.
