In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to turn off message bubbles on your Android device. Message bubbles can be a convenient feature, but they can also be distracting or intrusive for some users. By following these simple steps, you can easily disable message bubbles and regain control over your messaging experience.
Step 1: Open the Messaging App
To begin, locate and open the messaging app on your Android device. This app is usually represented by an icon with a speech bubble or a messaging symbol.
Step 2: Access App Settings
Once you have opened the messaging app, look for the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Tap on it to access the app settings.
Step 3: Navigate to Notifications
In the app settings menu, scroll down until you find the “Notifications” option. Tap on it to proceed.
Step 4: Disable Message Bubbles
Within the notifications settings, you will see various options related to message notifications. Look for the option labeled “Message Bubbles” or something similar.
Note: The exact wording may vary depending on your device and messaging app.
You can typically find this option under a section labeled “Chat Features” or “Advanced Settings.”
- If Using Stock Android Messaging App:
- You may see options such as “All conversations can bubble,” “Selected conversations can bubble,” or “No conversations can bubble.”
- Select either “Selected conversations can bubble” or “No conversations can bubble,” depending on your preference.

Tap on “Bubble settings” or a similar option that allows you to customize bubble behavior.
Look for an option that allows you to disable message bubbles. The wording may vary, but it should be similar to “Enable chat heads” or “Show message bubbles.”
