I am trying to use Picture in Picture on YouTube in safari by clicking the specific button while in full screen mode, however it will be in PIP for about 2 seconds and the will go back to the regular setting. I have checked that my iPhone is up to date and that PIP is turned on in settings but nothing is working. I have also restarted my iPhone many times to no avail. It might be because I have an iPhone 8 so it’s a little old but i am not sure
iPhone 8, iOS 16

You can use the following steps to take advantage of Picture in Picture on iPhone.
While watching a video, tap.
The video window scales down to a corner of your screen so you can see the Home Screen and open other apps. With the video window showing, you can do any of the following:
Resize the video window: To make the small video window larger, pinch open. To shrink it again, pinch closed.
Show and hide controls: Tap the video window.
Move the video window: Drag it to a different corner of the screen.
Hide the video window: Drag it off the left or right edge of the screen.
Close the video window: Tap.
Return to a full video screen: Tapin the small video window.
Multitask with Picture in Picture on iPhone
Try other apps to narrow the issue down. If you play a video from the Photos app, is there any change? What about if you use the YouTube app rather than Safari?
Take care!
