With the new Android 11, Facebook Messenger is receiving a few important revamp. The primary one of that is the introduction of the Chat bubbles feature. It is somewhat similar to the previous Chat heads interface on the Messenger app. Last year Bubbles went live with the Android 10 developer beta. Now, with the upcoming Android 11, the Bubbles are becoming a prominent feature. In this guide, I have explained how to enable or disable the revamped chat heads in Facebook Messenger on Android 11.
You must have an Android device that is running on Android 11. Also, you must be running version 268.0.0.3.118 of Messenger, then your device will support the Chat bubbles. It is interesting to note that you can select which conversations to appear in bubbles. In fact, if you want you can disable the bubble feature for all conversations in the Messenger app.
