I personally really liked the idea of bubbles, messenger bubbles are great and having them for all kinds of apps was great, the UI works flawlessly, with the bubbles moving when obstructing the keyboard or PIP. But some texts never register as conversation for some reason, so you can’t bubble them, the plus icon doesn’t even suggest contacts or google message’s own conversation ? I’m so sad they dropped the ball on this feature, which was well polished but needed just a few bugfixes that never came for 2 android versions.
Disabling chat bubbles is literally the first thing I do on a new phone. Glad you like them but I’m even more glad I can disable them.
I’ve never heard of a phone that had them on by default.
Oh wow. I hate them with a passion haha
Agreed. I’m fine with them existing so long as I can turn them off
I think it’s because I’m someone who uses a lot of different apps so it’s less tiring for me to answer in a bubble when watching YouTube for example than just pausing and switching apps completely.
still, it feels weird that they implemented this in android 11 (or 12 ?) and literally never updated them.
I tried using them for a while but they only got in the way more than they were useful for me, and since I don’t really find myself constantly talking to anyone I turned them off to save myself the headache.
Maybe they’re useful to people who constantly text each other, but for me? I’ll just stick to the notification quick reply if its urgent.
No chat apps I use even support them.
Make sure the conversation is marked as a conversation in its notification settings.
well, lucky you
Google is preparing to revamp bubbles on large screen devices like the Pixel Tablet!

Wait, there’s more than just the Facebook ones?
I remember immediately disabling them after they came out.
