I personally really liked the idea of bubbles, messenger bubbles are great and having them for all kinds of apps was great, the UI works flawlessly, with the bubbles moving when obstructing the keyboard or PIP. But some texts never register as conversation for some reason, so you can’t bubble them, the plus icon doesn’t even suggest contacts or google message’s own conversation ? I’m so sad they dropped the ball on this feature, which was well polished but needed just a few bugfixes that never came for 2 android versions.
I tried using them for a while but they only got in the way more than they were useful for me, and since I don’t really find myself constantly talking to anyone I turned them off to save myself the headache.
Maybe they’re useful to people who constantly text each other, but for me? I’ll just stick to the notification quick reply if its urgent.
