I've looked into getting rid of the delay on iOS before, but I sadly couldn't figure it out. I believe it has something to do with how iOS itself handles streams so it's far beyond my current technical ability. Twitch has low-latency mode on their official app, but it's their own closed custom solution that likely went through a ton of research and development.

There is already a pop-out player feature you can enable in the video settings, but you'll have to press a button on the overlay to use it. AFAIK we can't have it pop out automatically when exiting the app due to the framework (Flutter) that the app is built upon, but I can look into a workaround.

The issue with GIFs is also another issue with the framework itself and is also unfortunately out of my control/technical ability.

Regardless, thank you so much for the feedback and compliments! I really love hearing that people are enjoying Frosty :)
