Put your messages in floating bubbles on your Samsung phone
While text messages are a fun and convenient way to keep in touch with family and friends, having to constantly open your messaging app to read and reply can get repetitive. With the Bubble feature for One UI 3, One UI 4, One UI 5, and One UI 6, you can make your messages appear as little popups. Your most recent messages will remain in the bubble for you to view, and you can tap the bubble to open the conversation in a popup window. Now it will be easier to reply to texts while still enjoying your Galaxy phone's other features and apps.
