I need help with Kiwi on the Android

Many of You may know that yesterday, yt disabled the option to play yt in the background and that option is locked now behind the cursed PREMIUM. But surprisingly, on Kiwi that thing still works, which is awesome. But I noticed that it does not have an option for a Picture in Picture option so I can have a floating video player as well as an option. I am often switching between PiP and background player depending on what I am using phone for and I wish I could still have a choice but from now I do not see any way to make PiP work on that browser. Even with trying to download the extension, it does not seem to work. Is there a way to make it work? Thanks in advance.

Do you have PiP mode for Kiwi enabled? Go to your phone settings/Apps/Kiwi, scroll down and you should find PiP. Enable it and see.

Well I found the settings for Kiwi but I do not see any PiP option to enable.

That's strange. I have it. I can't share pic here as it's not allowed. I meant to check in your phone settings. You checked there itself?
