Question - What is the bubble with 3 dots in the S6 stock messaging app?

[Myronmack]

So I just received my S6 and I was wondering what that little bubble with the 3 dots pop ups when I'm in messaging apps mean? I'm kinda baffled by it, and btw this phone is amazing!

It's called the over flow menu. When you tap it, it brings up a menu of things to do.

Do you have the Toolbox feature enabled? It's weird that it only pops up in your messaging app though, if it was the Toolbox, that floats around all the time. It's like a quick access toolbar to let you start an app without going to the App Drawer.

The default app only has the "More" button for the menu -- Where are you seeing the 3 dots? Could you snap a screenshot?

This icon?? Any help would be appreciated

That is a floating menu button. It shows up on apps that have a menu. This is to account for older apps that don't have a menu button due to the menu button was part of the hardware in previous Android version . most apps now have a menu option within the app,

So how do I disable it for all apps or is that possible?

Yup, there should be a setting somewhere. I don't have an S6, but if it's in the same place as the Tab S or Note 4, it's under Settings, Device, Toolbox.

Also, if you tap and hold on the button, the EDIT and REMOVE options should appear.
