Why do my text messages pop up at the top of my screen?

[Android Central Question]

Why do my text messages pop up on my screen with every text i get? I dont think its a popup bc it doesnt cover my whole screen it just shows up at the top. Its super distracting how do i get it back to just showing the message notif om in the display bar at the top? I have a galaxy s7
