How to Search on TikTok While on FaceTime

FaceTiming a friend while scrolling through TikTok sounds like the ultimate multitasking experience. But if you’ve ever tried, you may have noticed that switching between FaceTime and TikTok can be tricky. Don't worry—this guide will show you exactly how to search on TikTok while staying on a FaceTime call.

Can You Use TikTok While on FaceTime?

Yes! You can use TikTok while on FaceTime using Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode on iPhones or Android's Split-Screen Mode. These features allow you to keep your FaceTime video call in a small window while browsing other apps like TikTok.

Method 1: Using Picture-in-Picture Mode (iPhone)

If you’re an iPhone user, you can enable Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode to keep your FaceTime call in a small floating window while using TikTok.

Steps to Use PiP Mode on iPhone:

1. Start a FaceTime Call with your friend.

2. Swipe up or press the Home button (on older iPhones) to minimize FaceTime.

3. The FaceTime call will shrink into a small window.

4. Open TikTok and tap the Search icon to look up videos, trends, or users.

5. Drag the FaceTime window to any corner of your screen while scrolling TikTok.

🔹 Note: If Picture-in-Picture mode isn’t working, check your settings:

• Go to Settings > FaceTime > Picture-in-Picture and toggle it ON.

Method 2: Using Split-Screen Mode (Android)

For Android users, Split-Screen mode allows you to run FaceTime (via a web browser or third-party app) alongside TikTok.

Steps for Android Users:

1. Start a FaceTime call using Google Chrome or another browser.

2. Open Recent Apps (by swiping up or pressing the recent apps button).

3. Tap and hold the FaceTime tab, then select Split-Screen Mode.

4. Open TikTok in the other half of the screen.

5. You can now search for videos while keeping FaceTime open.

🔹 Note: Not all Android models support split-screen for every app. Check your device settings under "Multi-Window" or "Split-Screen" options.

Bonus Tip: Use a Second Device

If you want an uninterrupted experience, use a second device—FaceTime on your iPad or laptop while searching TikTok on your phone.

Final Thoughts

Searching on TikTok while on FaceTime is easy with Picture-in-Picture mode (iPhone) or Split-Screen mode (Android). If your phone doesn’t support these features, consider using a second device for the best multitasking experience.
