I wondered what the bubble was when recently appearing on my Sharp Aquos - spent ages trying to get rid! Hate it.

I don't see any added value to such bubbles. I pops up whenever you don't need it.
That's the first feature that I disables when Facebook messenger launched a similar feature.

I've been using bubbles in any app (including Google messages obviously) since the note 9 came out. It's fantastic. It also just makes everything easier.

Does anyone remember the early days of the custom ROM called Paranoid Android? I used to run that on my Nexus 4, eight years ago.
The current version of Paranoid Android is fairly simple and a lot like stock Android. But back in the day it was doing a lot of custom interface designs. One of those things was a feature that was exactly like Google's new bubbles feature. Not similar, but the exact same thing.
Again, that was eight years ago.
It's funny that something that was being done in the custom ROM community eight years ago, Google is now passing off as some great original idea of their own.

Good people. The first application I remember featuring the bubble pop up was Tango. Was that the first, was Facebook the first or did another app come out with it first?
Looking forward to your responses.

I think this is just a typical development/evolment in technology and society. Makes notifications have less friction to the user and get to them instantly. Tech companies have incentives to get users to use more!
