What I call native chat bubbles is the feature implemented using Android's standardized APIs for this feature. This is in contrast to Messengers old "chat heads" feature (that predates chat bubbles in Android by a decade probably) which was/is in essence the same feature but with a custom...

I can't find a list of apps that support it there. Just a setting for it (it's already enabled). In regards to WhatsApp and Messenger, I'm missing the option for bubbles in their own app settings, even though they should be there according to some articles on the web and FB's support page for...

The only one I've encountered for now is Google Messages. What about Messenger and WhatsApp? I've read they support the native chat bubbles but I can't seem to find the option for it. The only option in Messenger are their custom chat heads but I don't see an option for Android's native chat...

Does anyone else have syncing issues with WhatsApp on a linked secondary device after that device runs out of battery? I have linked a second phone to my WhatsApp account and it works completely fine for the most part. But the issue is that I don't charge the secondary phone often so it is...

Yeah. I always thought all phones would be receiving them as long as they also still receive Play Services updates. I thought about recommending them a new phone for that reason (security updates) but the phone is still great in all other regards. Even I'm still occasionally using another...

Thanks everyone for the info!

Interesting. Does Google push Play System Updates or do the manufacturers do that too?

A family member is still using a Galaxy S9 which runs Android 10. Are Android 10 devices still getting Google Play System Updates? I think their device still shows a version of it from May 2023 and doesn't currently offer any newer versions. Regarding system security patches, I don't think that...

Does anyone know which icon pack are the icons in the screenshot below from? I found this on the following GitHub pull request: https://github.com/Neamar/KISS/pull/1208

So I recently booted up an old Samsung Galaxy running Android 7 Nougat and I was pleasantly surprised of how good the UI design still holds up nowadays. The iconography throught the UI is simple, and the UI overall feels clean and compact. Below is a screenshot of the Settings app to illustrate...

Which ones did you test it on? Might be an issue with Huawei's EMUI skin.

Heard it's also a problem on Xiaomi devices.

Unfortunately there is no way to disable it in Chrome. There used to be a hidden setting for that, chrome://flags/#disable-pull-to-refresh, but they removed that. If this gesture bothers you too much, you could switch to Samsung Internet or Firefox, both of which allow you to disable...

I don't know if you're able to do that in Samsung Messages, but the app I use to back up my texts and call log shows the number of messages and calls I got with specific contacts. If you don't find a way to do that using Samsung Messages, here how to do this with the app I use: Download the...
