A look into Amazon Prime Video's code reveals that Amazon is building one of the best YouTube TV features — multiview. It would be a game-changer, literally, for one of the best streaming services.

The potential new feature was spotted by Android Authority in one of their regular APK dives. In the latest build of the Prime Video app, version 3.0.389, they discovered code strings like "exit_multiview_text." Based on these strings, it appears that Amazon is working on some version of multiview that would let viewers set up what appears in the different boxes.
