WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is in the process of testing a new notification bubbles feature for its Android application. This feature, which has been available on Android since version 10, allows users to receive floating bubbles on their screens when they get messages from contacts or group chats. These bubbles will show the profile picture of the sender along with a WhatsApp icon, enabling users to quickly read and respond to messages without needing to open the app fully. This functionality is particularly useful for multitasking, allowing users to continue activities like watching videos while managing multiple chats. While the feature is currently in testing, it is expected to first roll out to beta users before becoming available to the general public. The exact timeline for the public release has not been disclosed.
