How to get rid of notification bubbles?

[Super Spartan]

When I get an SMS (I use Google Messages), I see many bubbles with the same icon as the app floating all over the screen it is very annoying. I went into settings and typed bubbles in the settings search and disabled notification bubbles but I still see them. Any ideas?

Are you talking about these? If not, can you post a screenshot?

It does seem odd – that there's what seems like multiple, conflicting notification/bubble on/offs.
Or maybe it's just me.

You might try turning:
Settings > Notifications > Advanced settings > Floating notifications ... 'Off'. Then re-tweak it as needed.

Then go to Google Messages > your account icon > Message settings > Notifications ... to
tweak your 'Notification types' on or off.
... & ...
Message settings > Bubbles ... to turn Bubbles 'Off'.
Then you can re-tweak > Bubbles to 'Selected only' &c, as you desire. Hope that may help.

Whatta'ya think of the Jonathan Smith hiring? I didn't like it; I thought he should've stayed put at his Beaver alma mater.
But I guess he would've then ended-up in the West Coast conference. Which is so upside-down; I still can't hardly believe that the mega corporate networks were allowed to kill the Pac-12 ! While the NCAA just sat back and did nothing w/regards to teams jumping [conference] ships and with regards to conference revenue disparities!

So both in notifications settings bubbles and the settings in message app bubbles are off?

Clear Data and force stop the message app
