Android 17’s app bubbles are so freakin great, crazy fun to play with but genuinely super useful

If anyone remembers, Facebook Messenger worked the same way on Android many years ago. You’d have a train of bubbles just like that on any screenn. Happy to see it back in this form!

That's awesome. I use chat bubbles on Android 16 but did they improve the way we close them? We used to be able to flick them down like messenger chat heads but in Android 16 we have to drag and drop it very precisely and that sucks

Looks smooth af Can't wait to see it on z flips

Can't they just improve app switching and make it faster to use? That seems to be better than this 😅 Also, might be better to put the bubbles at the bottom or at least an option.

Now with this developers have to make sure their app is responsive for this small view size.

i don’t know man looks pretty chaotic

Reminds me with this feature, but with Apps.

Floating on the screen is annoying, Samsung application is better

Samsung had this feature since the days of s7

App bubbles are genuinely the first thing I disable on any Android phone I use, they're insanely annoying.

12 years ago I was using Halo from Paranoid Android on Nexus 4. Crossing my finger to finally revisit it on my Pixel this summer.

The icons should be at the bottom. It’s hard to select them from the top.

I freaking hate this bubble thing 😑

I can't wait to test if I will really be useful

Dear @nothing ,@getpeid please add this feature in upcoming update 🙏🙏

Gimmick

Bruh it’s just the old ass Facebook messenger chat bubbles but with apps

This is nice ya

They're on 17 now?? I thought they were still on like 15 what

Ok but bubbles are weird I can't 🥀💔

lol

This is the best way to multitask 😍

Reminds me of Hangouts

I know that floating bubbles would annoy me when not in use Wish I could hide it somewhere, kinda like slide over on iPadOS

Samsung pop-up view haha 😄

What is this shit?

Quite useful
