The presence of circular chat heads, or floating icons, on the Android operating system can sometimes obstruct the user interface. These visual elements, designed for quick access to messaging applications, overlay other applications and may interfere with on-screen content and usability. Eliminating these persistent icons can improve the overall viewing experience and streamline device interaction.
Reducing visual clutter and improving screen real estate availability constitutes a significant benefit of disabling this feature. Doing so can enhance focus and reduce distractions, particularly when using applications that require the full screen. Disabling this feature may also improve battery performance, albeit marginally, by reducing the system resources required to maintain the floating icons.
