The functionality that displays conversations as floating icons on the screen can be disabled on Android devices. This feature, sometimes referred to as a “bubbled” conversation, presents messages in a small, circular overlay, providing quick access to ongoing discussions without fully opening the associated application. These floating icons can be moved around the display and tapped to expand the conversation. Disabling this functionality removes the floating icons from the screen.
Deactivating these floating conversation interfaces can enhance focus and reduce distractions, especially for users who receive a high volume of messages. It prevents screen clutter and ensures that notifications are handled through the standard notification shade, allowing for a more controlled and organized user experience. The introduction of this feature aimed to improve multitasking capabilities, but the ability to customize and disable it gives users greater control over their device’s interface.
