Hi, the problem I'm having is picture-in-picture automatically activating without my choosing.

[Android Central Question]

Hi, the problem I'm having is picture-in-picture automatically activating without my choosing. I am driving, Google Maps in navigation mode, then some notification will show up and Google Maps just drops into PiP mode rather than staying full-screen as I wish. Then I have to tap on the map twice to get it back to full-screen. This will sometimes happen every 30 seconds or so for several minutes running. I think it is triggered by notifications showing up in the notifications bar. It also happens when i'm watching You Tube videos. I need the feature and don't want to turn it off but is there a fix to the problem?

How can I stop this behavior, without turning PiP off altogether?

Welcome to Android Central! This isn't a direct solution, but have you tried using Google Maps within the Android Auto interface instead? That would probably bypass the issue.
