PiP NOT working on Samsung OneUI 5 Work Profile apps

[TheMystic]

I'm using Nova Launcher Beta v8.0.3.

I installed YouTube and VLC apps in the Work Profile on my Samsung and iQOO phones.

While PiP works fine for the app installed in the main profile, the same doesn't work for these apps installed in Work Profile on my Samsung phone. They work fine on my iQOO phone. Both phones are running on Android 13 and the app versions are the same on both.

NewPipe installed in the Work Profile, however, runs in PiP mode on my Samsung phone too.

This appears to be some permission issue on OneUI. Does anyone know which permissions require this feature to work?

'Appear on Top' and 'Picture in Picture' are both enabled for these apps.

I think this is a problem with Samsung OneUI, and nothing to do with Nova Launcher. There are posts on the internet on PiP not working for apps in Secure Folder, and I have this problem too. So this is likely the same reason for apps in Work Profile too.

Can a mod please move this thread to a more appropriate forum? Ideally, Samsung One UI 5 or Samsung Galaxy would be more appropriate.

I can't find a forum for Samsung OneUI.

Although there are forums for devices such as the Galaxy S22 Ultra and others, as well as forums for OneUI Beta which is essentially a forum for ROMs, moving this post to those forums won't be appropriate.

Can you create a new forum for Samsung OneUI, so users can make posts related to Samsung OS? This post is a problem specific to OneUI, and a forum like that would be the best place for posts like this one.

Thank you.

Thank you for clarifying.

Android Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting would probably be the best forum for this post for now.

I will make a request for a new forum called 'Samsung OneUI Problems and Solutions' in the link you mentioned. Thank you.
