Video call picture in picture not working

Bug Reports

When I am in a video call (snapchat and WhatsApp). If I return to my home screen the chat doesn't go to picture in picture mode. If i got straight to another app through a notification, or swipe down and go to my settings app, the call then goes to into picture in picture, I can then go to niagra home and it stays.

Current home behavior:

  • I'm on a call

  • I swipe from the bottom to go home

  • My call closes

Current work around

  • I'm on a call

  • I open my notifications and open and app through a notification, or go to my phone settings

  • My call goes into picture in picture

  • I can then swipe to niagra home and the call is visible in a window.

    I can confirm the exact same behaviour also on TikTok lives. For non-live videos it works, for live videos it works only if I use the notifications trick described here or I disable gesture-based navigation.

    I’m on a Pixel 9a with Android 16.
