WhatsApp to roll out Android notification bubbles for faster chat multitasking

WhatsApp’s messaging app has decided to roll out a new exciting feature for a great multitasking experience.

The worldwide popular messaging app platform is reportedly experimenting with the latest features for iOS and Android users, with the latest in development being notification bubbles for Android.

The Meta-owned WhatsApp’s new feature is particularly designed to enhance fast chat multitasking and streamline your messaging experience.

As reported by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp’s upcoming notification bubbles have been supported by Google since Android 10.

Additionally, users familiar with Facebook Messenger on Android will easily recognize the feature.

Whenever the latest messages come from an individual or group chat, a floating bubble appears on the screen, whether the user is on the home screen or using any third-party app.

The bubble features the group display image and contact photo along with a small WhatsApp icon to know the source.

Once you click the floating bubble, it takes you to a compact WhatsApp chat window, letting users reply and read messages without opening the instant-messaging app.

For example, users watching a video could reply to multiple chats without leaving the video app.

Notably, the availability of this notification feature is not confirmed yet, as WhatsApp is currently experimenting with a new feature, with initial release expected only for select beta testers ahead of a broader launch.
