- Android is improving its chat bubble feature on large screen devices, pinning conversations to a new, more accessible “bubble bar” at the bottom corner.
- This new bubble bar remains discreetly hidden until you swipe up on it, which then expands the most recent chat bubble for you to view.
- While the feature is currently live for tablets and foldables in the latest Android Canary build, evidence suggests it could eventually come to phones.
When you’re in a busy group chat, constantly switching apps to see the latest messages can be a pain. Android’s chat bubble feature helps by letting you follow conversations in a floating window without leaving your current app. Unlike notifications that only show the most recent message or two, chat bubbles contain the full conversation UI. While this feature is useful, it has been poorly optimized for large-screen devices — at least until the first Android Canary release.
In the current stable release of Android 16, chat bubbles appear near the middle of the left or right side of the screen. This works fine on narrow smartphones, but it’s awkward on wider tablets. While users could move the bubbles to a more convenient spot, the latest Android Canary build introduces a more elegant solution for tablets and book-style foldables.
