Android Central Question

2 days ago, when I get a text message, I get my usual bar notification, which is fine BUT I am now getting an icon on my home screen or any other screen I have up that shows who texted me. If I click on it, it opens up a mini text screen. I can hold down the icon and a trash 🗑 appears that I can move it to but the next text message that comes in, it reappears. I don't have any pop up checked that I can find. I have pics of what I'm talking about.
 
Welcome to Android Central! If this is a Pixel phone on Android 11 (or one of the few non-Pixel phones that got it), then it sounds like Message/Chat Bubbles: https://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-chat-bubbles-android-11

If it's a Samsung phone, then it's probably Smart Popup View: https://thedroidguy.com/how-to-use-smart-pop-up-view-on-galaxy-note10-1110511
