Chat bubbles

[nwsipc69]

Is it just me or is everyone else not getting chat bubbles in the google messages app on their Pixel 5? I've tried everything and still nothing. I know it works in the beta app but I don't want to be in beta. Help!

Go to Settings>Apps, select Messages, then Notifications. There's no Bubbles option there?

 

[nwsipc69]

Yes there's the option and I have "all messages can bubble" enabled. I still don't get the bubble chats.

check apps and notifications under settings

Works for me. I keep it disabled but just checked and it still works.

Just in case, make sure that the 'Display over other apps' permission is enabled for the Messages app.

Where do I find this setting?

Where do I find this setting?

Not sure in Android 11, try in settings - apps - special access - display over other apps or use the search feature in the settings.

Found the setting in Android 11 but Google messages is not one of the apps given as an option.

This on the S10?

This on the S10?

Yes it is! Is it weird that I'm assuming the S10 would be able to get this feature if I'm using Google's Messages app? Or is it purely for Pixels running Messages?
