JioTV update for Android now brings in picture-in-picture mode

One of the most popular apps for watching live TV on your smartphone is JioTV. However, if you were to receive a text on your phone which you wanted to reply you would have to exit the app. With the new update, JioTV will now get a picture-in-picture (PiP) mode feature to circumvent this problem.[caption id="attachment_6458541" align="alignnone" width="1024"]

The floating video can be enlarged as well and will take you back to the main app.In more recent news surrounding Jio has just launched a new app for Android and iOS devices.
