Bubble notifications can also be applied to your phone’s apps. You’ll receive new notifications as small icons that can be selected and expanded into a pop-up window.

1. To enable this, navigate to and open Settings, and then tap Notifications.
2. Tap Advanced settings, tap Floating notifications, and then choose Smart pop-up view.
   
3. Next, tap Included apps, and then select the app(s) that will use Smart pop-up view by tapping their switch(es).
   
   Note: Smart pop-up view is only available for apps that support Multi window.
4. The next time you receive a notification from your selected app or apps, it will appear as a pop-up! You can drag the pop-up around the screen and then select it to view the notification.

If a conversation is finished or you no longer want to chat, you can remove the bubble pop-up from your phone’s screen.

Simply touch and hold the bubble icon and then drag it toward the bottom of the screen. An X will appear once you reach the bottom; drag the bubble on top of the X to delete the pop-up. Release your finger when you’re done.
